Access to Christ-centered early childhood education is crucial in rural areas where educational resources are often scarce. By including a preschool at each site, ICBC provides children with the foundational skills they need for future success. Early education has a long-term impact on cognitive development, social skills, and academic achievement, setting the stage for a generation that is better equipped to break the cycle of poverty. Additionally, every pre-school child receives one meal per day, Monday through Friday, ensuring that they receive the nutrition they need for early childhood development. Each ICBC site is designed to facilitate 40 pre-school children. Eighty percent of the children are considered orphaned and vulnerable.
