Remembering the life and sacrifice of Officer Erik D. Hite, we serve the families of Law Enforcement, Emergency Services and Military Personnel on a close and personal level. The Erik Hite Foundation, a non-profit organization, is established to provide a child care center and family outreach programs that offer a safe and positive environment, as we follow godly principles and values, for the benefit of both commissioned and non-commissioned personnel employed by Law Enforcement, Emergency Services and Military Personnel and their child(ren). As these employees serve and protect our community, we serve and care for their families.
The Erik Hite Foundation is exclusively for charitable, childcare, educational and family outreach purposes. Moreover, the EHF has been established to solicit and re-distribute funds and/or goods to assist with the funding and undertaking of programs and activities designed to strengthen the services, organization, performance, competence, professionalism and morale of the Law Enforcement, Emergency Services employees of the City of Tucson, Pima County Government, the State of Arizona and the Federal Government, and non-commissioned Military Personnel.
Our Childcare Development Center is the core of what we do. Our First Responders and Military Personnel families work outside the average 9 to 5 hours, sometimes late into the night. And, their schedule is not Monday through Friday like most of us. We are open beyond the 6:30am to 6:30pm child care center hours, we're open Saturdays, holidays and accommodate health and wellness appointments as well! We also offer a "Parents night out" 4 times a year, offering free child care for 4 hours while mom and dad spend much needed quality time together without the kiddos. We not only offer child care 6 days a week and late into the night, but we offer drop-in child care for parents who need the help with their child(ren) last minute. We try our best to be of service for these families when no other child development and care centers offer help. What we do is one-of-a-kind in the entire country!
We currently serve 53 families in our current Child Development Center, located in Tucson, Arizona. We do not disclose the exact location to protect the children of these families by design. With our expansion, adding 4 classrooms, a laundry facility, office and lounge area for staff, we will be able to accommodate over 110 families in the Southern Arizona community! Our First Responders and Military families need our help!
The legacy we are creating for generations and generations is boundless. Please be a part of an amazing program where we care for those who serve and protect us.
