But we can't do it without your help
In LaPorte County, approximately 14,109 households and 18.7% of children under the age of 18 live at or below the federal poverty level, which is $31,200 for a family of four.
Many families in LaPorte County lack access to quality early childhood education, jeopardizing their children's foundational learning, which is vital for academic success, social-emotional development, and overall physical and mental health. Paladin's Imagination Station addresses this critical gap by offering safe and nurturing experiences that foster the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth of young children, setting them on a solid path toward college or a career.
