MISSION

Monroe County United Ministries creates lasting solutions to economic, educational and social injustice in our community through quality services, collaboration and innovation.

VISION

Our vision is a community free of poverty and injustice.

Our name gives a nod to the local faith community which founded us in 1939 and still supports us today, though we are a non-sectarian organization. The agency began as a preschool to serve the “Pigeon Hill” neighborhood of Monroe County, Indiana, but expanded over time to offer a wide array of social services for the entire county. In fact, many services and organizations in the Bloomington area began at MCUM, such as the Community Kitchen and Opportunity House, before becoming agencies of their own. Now, MCUM focuses on childcare, basic needs, and self-sufficiency services in-house, while collaborating with partner agencies that help people meet other needs in their journeys through and out of poverty.

Compass Early Learning Center

Compass Early Learning Center provides full day, high-quality care for children ages 1-6. We offer a sliding fee scale in addition to the CCDF (CASY) & On My Way Pre-K programs, ensuring no family pays more than 10% of their household income on childcare.

The goal of Compass is for children to leave our program ready for their first day of kindergarten.
