From Mission City Church

In response to the recent findings and violations from the state licensor related to Sycamore Tree Child Care (STCC).  First, we want to take full responsibility for the violations cited. We acknowledge our role in these issues, and we are genuinely sorry for any worry, confusion, or inconvenience this has caused the families involved. The well-being and safety of the children in our care are of top priority, and we are committed to addressing these matters with utmost urgency.  
As a church, we began the endeavor that is now known as Sycamore Tree Child Care (STCC) in order to meet a dire need in our community and expand our influence to share the message of hope we commit our lives to. We take seriously the impact of these issues and violations in that regard and we will not look past the negative impact on all those involved.  We support and are involved in the decision of STCC to cease all operations until further notice. We will only resume operation only if we can get back to and maintain the original vision for this program - to meet a need in our community and share the message of hope that is the epicenter of who we are. This decision was not made lightly, but we believe it is in the best interest of the families we serve, the integrity of our program, and our hope of making a difference in our community for years to come.  
We understand the seriousness of this matter and are committed to taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety and quality of care for children. We are truly sorry for our part in this situation and appreciate your patience as we navigate these proceedings.  If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Tom Tench at ttench@mcity.church.  We will respond as promptly as possible.  Thank you for your understanding during this challenging time.
