The mission of the Epoch Dream Center is to mentor, nurture, encourage, and equip children in the areas of academics, character development, behavior, and emotional wellness through after-school programs. The goal is to see students adopt the "Epoch Code" in their lives: Work Hard, Respect Authority, Love Everyone, and Forgive Quickly.

​
An “Epoch” is a meaningful period of time marked by growth, transformation, and new beginnings. It represents the pivotal moments in a child’s life when support, learning, and caring relationships come together to create lasting positive change. Just as an epoch in history signals a significant era, the Epoch Dream Center aims to be that defining chapter in each student’s journey toward a brighter future.
