What it says it does

THE MISSION OF LOVE HOUSE LEARNING ACADEMY IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO MAY BE UNDERNOURISHED; TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE, NEGLECT AND ABANDONMENT, IMPROVE CONDUCT AND BEHAVIOR SELF-AWARENESS, DEVELOP SOCIAL AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS, ALL WITHIN A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. THE PROGRAM CREATES AN AFFORDABLE PLACE FOR CHILDREN TO BE CARED FOR AND MENTORED, WHILE DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS. WE RECOGNIZE THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE CLOSELY MONITORED IN A LOVING ENVIRONMENT OFTEN GET LESS INVOLVED WITH ENDANGERED ACTIVITIES AND HAVE A GREATER SENSE OF SELF-WORTH. LOVE HOUSE LEARNING ACADEMY ALSO OFFERS PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS. THE MISSION OF THE SENIORS PROGRAM IS TO ENABLE INDIVIDUALS TO CONTINUE BEING AN INTEGRAL PART OF THEIR COMMUNITY WHILE MAINTAINING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE IN MIND, BODY, AND SOUL. THE GOAL IS TO DEVELOP CREATIVITY, PRODUCE NEW LIFE STYLES, REDUCE DEPRESSION, EXTEND LONG LIFE AND CREATE A PLACE WHERE NEW RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE DEVELOPED EVERYDAY THROUGH SIMPLE ADVENTURES.
