A Little About Us ...
K.E.E.P. Inc.'s History & Philosophy

K.E.E.P., Inc. (Kids Educational Enrichment Program) cares for children from all walks of life throughout Sussex County. Formerly the YWCA, K.E.E.P. has been offering child care for over 85 years. We have experienced many changes over the years that have all contributed positively to who we are today.

Today, K.E.E.P. has very basic principles including, but not limited t

• K.E.E.P. continues to create and enhance their programming in their effort to serve every child in need of care, companionship, and guidance in their growing years
  
• K.E.E.P. provides full and part-time schedules to accommodate the needs of all of the community
  
• K.E.E.P. provides unlimited financial aid to those families who qualify
  
• K.E.E.P. pledges to continue in their effort to identify partnerships with Sussex County businesses to further enhance this county's commitment to its youth
  

K.E.E.P.'s Board of Directors and Staff are extraordinarily committed to achieving what is best for the children in our community. This is demonstrated day in and day out in our programs, but our real success lies in our community. The support provided from corporations and businesses within our community is remarkable. They assist us in our fund raising efforts and they assist us programmatically. For example:
