Visionary thinkers who can put words into action have built Cornerstones of Care into the area’s premier provider of prevention, treatment, and support services to strengthen children and families in our community. Cornerstones of Care leadership teams set the strategic direction of the organization, aiming high to reach our goal of providing safety and health to all in need throughout the region.
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
A MESSAGE FROM MERIDETH
For months, we have had the opening day of the new Cornerstones of Care Education Campus circled on our calendar. The big day arrived on August 24th, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the first day of classes. The opening of the Education Campus would not have been possible without the outpouring of support from all around our area.
On behalf of Cornerstones of Care, I want to say thank you, Kansas City, for the kindness and support we have received. You made this possible.
As students entered the building for the first day at the K-12 Learning Academy, they walked into a revitalized space that will be a focal point of the neighborhood. The incredible work that went into getting ready for the first day of classes was nothing short of extraordinary.

We received incredible support from donors who saw the importance of a place for learning, growth, and change. Kansas City is known for its commitment to helping others, and that was on full display with this project.
That includes the amazing volunteer support we received throughout this process. As always, our committed volunteers came through, including PricewaterhouseCoopers, who painted the “You Belong Here” mural in the hallway; Burns & McDonnell, who helped assemble playground equipment and classroom furniture; and volunteers from Church of the Resurrection, who made last-minute preparations just before the opening day of the Learning Academy.
And, of course, I want to thank our team members who pulled together to make this possible. Most notably, Chief Advancement Officer Sarah Scharinger, who coordinated with our work crews throughout the process; Executive Director of Missouri Programs and Services Shelia Rancatore; and Senior Director of Education Programs and Services Dr. Angela Danley.
We are grateful for everyone who got us to this point. We still have a lot of work to do as we begin upgrading and revitalizing buildings on our Ozanam Campus. As we do that, we celebrate this new chapter at Cornerstones of Care with the opening of the Education Campus.
