William is a 5 year old boy who enrolled in the Center in February. William’s story may be one of the most moving stories in the history of the Acorn Childcare Center.

The economic impact of the pandemic in Guatemala has been devastating but the resources and daily instructional videos provided by the Acorn Childcare Center give families something constant in an otherwise chaotic situation.

We are delighted to let you know that all our families and all our staff in Quetzaltenango are healthy and safe at home.

While schools are closed in Quetzaltenango, Maya Childcare is helping families at home.

We are welcoming back some familiar faces from last year and are helping some new children to feel part of this caring community. One of these children is Fernando, who turns three next month.

Meet Andy...because of your generosity, his parents have learned to work together and he's grown from a shy preschooler to a confident student ready for primary school.

Meet Daniel...because of your generosity, he had a caring place to learn, grow and grieve at the Center before stepping into primary school.

Meet Adrián...when he first came to the Center, he had difficulty performing fine motor activities but he now does all of these without difficulty.
