Trinity United Methodist Church will soon open a daycare center for children ages eight weeks to five years old. It will offer a low-cost or no-cost daycare but with the provision that the parents are working.
Parents can call Trinity United Methodist Church to register their children. Individuals and corporations can also donate to the church for the daycare program.
Daycare Mechanics
Click 2 Houston reported that the qualification for the said daycare center is that the parents must be working or if there are single parents, the same requirement applies.
The church’s goal is to provide an inexpensive daycare center to parents who could not bring their children there. There are situations that some parents may choose between working or taking care of their children.
Those parents that have the means would pay almost $150 weekly. Meanwhile, those who qualify for the low-cost program would pay less. Other than the affordable pay, they would also receive numerous assistance from the state-run agency, Workforce Solutions.
Trinity United Methodist Church
The Trinity United Methodist Church began its rich history on Mar. 2, 1843. Its building is made of brick and has a lot dimension of 50 feet by 60 feet located in the Church Reserve given by the Allen brothers.
The records showed that the Whites worshipped in the same church together with the 32 Negro members that the Presiding Elder preached. These “colored members” reportedly received the sacrament.
The church bought the property in 1969, which is now the present S62.000 parking lot. They purchased the two adjacent lots for $20,000 and $18,500 in 1985 and 1986.
In 1990, they purchased the Pilgrim property. It was a longtime dream where the Bradford-Taylor Center is now located. The present pastor of Trinity United Methodist Church is Pastor Ed C. Jones III.
Previous Year of Learning
According to Click to Houston, the Trinity United Methodist Churches had also launched virtual learning for kids on Sept. 8, 2020, called Sanctuary of Learning, amidst pandemic.
It favored the parents who could not afford a babysitter to take care of their children while working away from home. The program was free from any charge.
It aimed to bring a thousand children into participating Methodist churches citywide and let them connect virtually with their schools. The goal was to keep the kids in a safe place to learn while their parents were away.
Pastor Ed Jones then said they could handle at least 75 kids in the church. They provided breakfast, lunch, study time, supervision, and WIFI connection for digital learnings.
The said program had provided laptops for those children that do not own one. This way, the kids could connect with their teachers, having access to lessons and classes.
Jones stated before, “For those children that can’t afford a computer or do not already have one, every kid that comes into our program will be provided with a computer to connect with their teachers, to be fully functioning in their school’s virtual program.”
