A Childcare Center empowering families to break the cycle of poverty.
A new Childcare & Early Learning for Bloomington-Normal families.
What does it look like to give lasting hope to families?
Shelley Leman, Founder & Executive Director of Joshua Tree Ministries, joined The Give Back Girls Podcast to talk about building pathways out of generational poverty through compassionate, community-centered care.
The Joshua Tree
It grows amongst harsh desert environments and has long been a symbol of faith for thriving amidst adversity. Representing love, hope, and beauty – a reminder that life can still flourish in challenging times and environments.
How do we break the cycle of poverty?
Our vision is to provide an environment of love, identity, safety, and Jesus. By partnering with one family at a time, we can make a lifelong difference in the children and parents we serve. The Joshua Tree Childcare Center is planning to open in 2026 right here in Bloomington, IL.
