Children & Families Served

During the 2008-2009 academic year, MHM provided full-day, year-round comprehensive early childhood education and development program for 633 children from 503 families:

52% Hispanic   34% Black    10% Anglo   2.5% Asian   1% Native American
Male  51.5%   Female 48.5%

The families served by MHM are struggling to raise their children on poverty-level wages. This past year over 96% of children served in the six core centers were living below 130 % of the federal poverty level. 

The families of these children pay tuition based on a sliding scale and receive additional support from state and federal programs, as well as philanthropic contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations. Additionally several thousand visits were received at Denver Warm Welcome Court Child Care and approximately, 6000 child visits were received at the Good Beginnings Drop In Center for families doing business with the Denver Department of Human Services.
