FranDelJA was established in 2000 to meet the needs of children and families residing in the Bayview Hunters Point Community this was the culmination of a lifelong vision of two local women who dreamed of enriching the community they resided in and loved. Gladys Harris and Sandra Young, two sisters, managed to ignite the imagination of the various community leaders who also saw the need for high-quality core programs.
FranDelJA's mission is to offer the children and families of the under-served community the resources to level the playing field of educational and social opportunity.
FranDelJA believes it is important that the family is supported in a holistic approach. To that end, the center provides family services
that fit the needs of the child(ren) and parents as a whole.
Gladys Harris and sister Sandra Young realizing the need for a high-quality childcare facility brought FranDelJA Enrichment Center to the community. FranDelJA Enrichment Center has been honored
and celebrated for the work that it has provided for the children of the community. |

What We Do |
|
We provide parents the security that their child is receiving safe, and healthy childcare, high-quality educational support,
and a foundation that establishes the hope of their child's future success.
We realize that the parent is the first and primary teacher of their child at FranDelJA, we strive to develop mutually supportive partnerships between families and our programs.
A child's success is directly correlated to the success of the parent/guardian;
we must include encouraging and guiding families if we are to truly be partners.
In a mutually supportive partnership, parents can give as well as receive, when they become decision makers in a program that is geared to support their child and their parenting skills.
