DROP OFF & PICK UP
We provide (car) door to door service. Simply follow our kiss & ride pattern and pull up to the front doors. We greet each child at the door for Before Care drop off and walk each child to their car door for After Care pick up.
Each family is given a name placard to place on their dashboard.
Throughout the year, our Silo Center programs partner with Hope For Help, the organization for all giving initiatives and community outreach at New Hope Church.
We thank you in advance for allowing us the opportunity to partner with you as parents in teaching your children the core value of helping others in need. Our hope is that we would all fully embrace both the desperate needs of those in our community and those across the globe, and understand the opportunity we have to help them. The result will be the joy of seeing our children develop as selfless individuals as they learn to put others' needs ahead of their wants. This is an incredible lesson for children and adults alike.
