Global Connection Learning Center (GCLC) is a 501c3 nonprofit daycare center
providing full-time care for children ages eight weeks to five years. Though our
center is open to the general public, we have a special focus on helping teen
moms. As long as they remain in school, receive passing grades, have no
disciplinary issues, and attend weekly parenting classes then teenage mothers do
not have pay any fees. Our founder and director, Nancy Sylvester, was inspired
to open GCLC upon retiring after 35 years as a public school counselor. Over the
years, she met a staggering number of teen moms who were unable to graduate high
school, despite very much wanting to continue their education. As young mothers,
they simply didn't have the time or the resources. Nancy wanted to change that.
Today, our program offers compassionate, quality care for little ones that
enables their mothers to better themselves. Our daycare is staffed with highly
experienced caregivers who treat each and every student as their own.
Additionally, our team receives annual professional development sessions
designed to help them prepare children for kindergarten.
