Neighborhood House is a quality, affordable day care and support services to low-income children and adults based on their ability to pay. It has been operating since 1894, when Emma K. McVicker, a former teacher in the Presbyterian schools, dreamed of alleviating the social issue of children of the less fortunate needed food, clothing, care and guidance, when she conceived the idea of opening a public kindergarten. Mrs. McVicker and a dedicated board of trustees made this dream a reality.
