ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Jasmin Child Care and Preschool began in 2015 as an LLC in North Dakota. We very quickly learned that there was a need in the community beyond the children. Supporting and navigating parents, assisting and connecting with the public school, and broader, more holistic education connections were just a few things identified as we progressed. We were getting more and more feedback that we were serving a bigger mission and were a better fit as a non-profit.
The process of shifting from for-profit to non-profit began. It didn't change our operations. Our hope is that this will open doors to be of better service to our community and the families we work with. Other doors of communication, programs, and connection are open to developing as a nonprofit. For example, we can look into programming to empower mothers and connect to resources. The possibilities are endless.
More importantly, The possibilities are endless for empowering the children we work with. This will allow us to seek partners and connections that can continuously add diversity to programming, quality to teaching/curriculum, and creativity to approaches. Our story is evolving....
