Centro Mater Child Care Services

Our Story

Founded in 1968 by Mother Margarita Miranda Otero, Centro Mater Child Care Services (CMCCS) emerged from the urgent need for child care among newly exiled Cuban families in Miami. Recognizing the challenges faced by immigrant families, Centro Mater has expanded its reach from Little Havana to Hialeah, providing essential services to underserved neighborhoods. Today, Centro Mater serves children and families of all backgrounds, helping approximately 1,500 children annually, with 96% qualifying for free lunch based on household income.

Impact

Centro Mater is dedicated to nurturing the potential of children aged 6 weeks to 12 years, while empowering their parents to achieve financial independence. With 96% of families served living below the federal poverty line, the organization plays a crucial role in transforming lives.
