Christ Life Revival Center & Little Miracles Day Care & Preschool is thrilled to announce that it is among the 40 churches selected to participate in the Caring Cradle Initiative, aimed at nurturing the developmental needs of infants and toddlers in our community. This initiative, supported by Early Learning Indiana (ELI) and coordinated by Exousia Consulting, focuses on creating God-centric environments that foster positive change in families and
communities.
Exousia Consulting, closely aligned with the United Pentecostal Church International
(UPCI) and the Indiana District United Pentecostal Church International (INUPCI), is
dedicated to enhancing community services. Their mission is to empower both church
organizations and families, providing strategic support through a comprehensive array
of services which include: education, counseling, consultation, technical assistance,
sponsorship, and monetary donations.
“At Christ Life Revival Center, we believe that the early years are crucial in shaping a child’s
future,” said Nathaniel Stroud, Pastor. “Being selected for the Caring Cradle
Initiative allows us to better serve our congregants and the broader community by
providing essential resources and programs that support families during these critical
developmental stages.”
The Caring Cradle Initiative will distribute curriculum, supplies, and resources tailored to
each participating church's needs. The initiative supports four strategic priorities:
● Parenting Preparation and Support: Empowering families with home visiting and
parenting education programs.
● Child Care Access and Effectiveness: Providing supportive child care services to
ensure accessibility.
● Early Detection and Intervention: Promoting early detection of developmental
needs and implementing responsive interventions.
● Early Language and Literacy: Encouraging essential language skills through
targeted strategies.
“Research shows that a child’s brain develops most rapidly in the first three years of life,
emphasizing the importance of supportive environments,” said Maureen Weber,
president & CEO of Early Learning Indiana. “With the collaboration of organizations like
Exousia Consulting and our church partners, we can create lasting positive impacts on
children’s lives and their families.”
As participants in this initiative, the selected churches, including Christ Life Revival Center,
will work together to uplift families and nurture the next generation. “We are excited
about the opportunity to enhance our community and be part of something greater,”
added Pastor Nathan. “We look forward to working closely with Early Learning Indiana
and Exousia Consulting to make a difference.”
