OUR MISSIONBuilding Brighter Futures by serving, educating, and empowering families in our communityWHO WE ARECarver Center's programs are designed to meet people where they are and encourage them to lead healthy, productive, and independent lives. From infants to seniors, Carver Center has something for everyone. As Port Chester's premiere learning center, we are highly responsive to the holistic needs of our community and provide purposeful and engaging programming.OUR HISTORYFounded in 1943, Carver Center began as a small storefront daycare program for children whose parents worked in wartime defense plants. The founders were African American parents—grassroots organizers and advocates for the minority community in Port Chester. They named the organization after the renowned African American scientist, George Washington Carver, who passed away in 1943. The Carver Center grew to be a small food pantry and child care program that operated out of a rented synagogue basement for over 50 years. OUR IMPACTAs we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we have adopted a learning continuum that reflects our commitment to excellent programming for all stages of life. Our renewed commitment supports 5 developmental learning benchmarks: Infants & Toddlers, School-Aged Children, Tweens & Teens, Adults and Seniors. As we evolve, we continue to ignite paths to success by offering transformative opportunities that nurture our clients' inherent gifts. Carver remains a source of hope, support, and empowerment for youth and families in our community.
