Educare was founded in 1991 by Sherry Kirksey and Genevieve Snipes and was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit for the purpose of providing professional assistance to individuals and groups. The corporation was initially formed for educational and scientific purposes, including but not limited to the establishment and operation of child care centers for consultation and training of personnel for child care providers, development of training materials for child care curricula and establishment and operation of child development centers.

Educare expanded its services in 2002 to provide faith-based counseling, conflict coaching and conciliation/mediation services. An Advisory Board of five members was also added to complete the organizational structure of Educare.

The staff consists of trained and experienced professionals who are committed to continuing education to update skills and knowledge in their field. Educare attempts to reach out to anyone who asks for our help, either through personal interaction with our staff or by referral to other helping individuals or agencies that can provide what is needed.
