About

Hour Little Playhouse Cares Foundation

Hour Little Playhouse Cares Foundation is a community based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and families through accessible early learning, youth enrichment, and family centered programs. Rooted in the Richmond and East Henrico communities, we exist to ensure that every child, regardless of circumstance, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in safe, nurturing environments.

We believe that strong communities begin with supported children and empowered families. Our work centers the whole child, recognizing that academic success, social-emotional development, and overall well being are deeply connected.

Our Approach

We believe meaningful impact happens when programs are:

Accessible – removing financial and systemic barriers to participation
Community driven – informed by the voices and needs of local families
Collaborative – built through partnerships with schools, organizations, and community leaders
Outcome focused – aligned with measurable goals that support child and family well-being

By combining care, education, and community collaboration, we create pathways that help children and families thrive together.

Our Commitment

Hour Little Playhouse Cares Foundation is committed to equity, inclusion, and dignity in all that we do. We strive to create welcoming spaces where children feel safe, valued, and supported, and where families are respected as partners in their children’s growth and success.

Looking Ahead

As our organization continues to grow, we remain focused on expanding access to high quality programming, strengthening community partnerships, and increasing our impact across Richmond and East Henrico. Our vision is a community where all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential and families have the support they need to flourish.
