Ark Crisis Child Care is celebrating their 40th birthday this year which Bryan Ruder is currently serving as the President of the Board.
In 1981, Ark Crisis was founded by Junior League of Evansville as a signature project.  The mission still is to keep children safe and strengthens families in times of stress.
Ark gives 1,400 children a safe haven each year when they need it the most. This includes working parents who have no access to safe, affordable care for their children.
With the continual community support, Ark provides free child care for children and a resource for parents and caregivers to help them reduce the stress in their lives. When family stress is reduced, children are less likely to be abused or neglected.
Families do not have to be low-income or residents of Vanderburgh County to receive assistance at Ark. In the classrooms, early childhood professionals provide a collection of age-appropriate materials such as educational toys, art, and games as well as projects to enhance each child’s self-worth and socialization skills.
