Agape Academy INC

Shepherd’s Light, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing childcare scholarships for families facing financial hardships. Our mission focuses on assisting veterans, low-income, and single-parent families by helping them cover childcare costs while they pursue and maintain employment.

In today’s fast-paced world, access to quality childcare is not just a convenience—it is a vital necessity for families striving to build a better future. Many parents struggle to balance work commitments with ensuring their children are in safe and nurturing environments. Unfortunately, the rising costs of childcare often create barriers that prevent low-income families from pursuing employment or educational opportunities. As a result, families may face prolonged poverty, with children placed in unsafe situations while parents work. I have personally experienced this challenge, having gained custody of my nephew while transitioning out of the Army.

Our scholarship program is slowly making a difference by helping families secure safe and reliable childcare, but the demand continues to grow. With your support, we can expand our reach and provide more scholarships, ensuring that every child can thrive in a safe childcare setting while their parents work toward a better future.
