EDUCATION
Since 2008, when Nicolas and Misty Khoury opened
the doors of Club Pure in Fort Pierce to five children, they
have consistently expanded their outreach that currently
serves more than 200 children in Port St. Lucie. They
could not have known how wildly successful their initial
endeavor would prove to be.
“We had a vision, opening a spring camp with five children,”
Misty recalls. “By the following summer, we had
125 students enrolled and then launched before-and-after
care in 2010.”
Their original location in Fort Pierce now serves as the
site for their Project Rock suspension program, a contract
awarded through the Children’s Services Council of St.
Lucie County in June 2013. A preschool for two-year-olds
up to prekindergarten age is also onsite.
Nicolas, a native of South Africa, and his wife met
when Misty was 18 years old, working in a youth ministry
in Palm Beach Gardens. As a young teen, she was
required to volunteer in a preschool, cleaning walls as
penalty for a school suspension. The discipline opened
her eyes to a career in childcare that has paid off with
intangible dividends.
LEARNING VALUES CAN BE FUN
On a mission to instill sound, moral principles to children
of this generation, the couple is dedicated to providing
an educational foundation built on qualities marked
by leadership, virtue and enrichment while keeping it fun.
Teaching from a biblical worldview, children learn the
values and ethics centered on a faith in God.
