- All children need and deserve adults in their lives who are loving, kind and provide a safe environment
Our Mission:
Is to promote early development, learning and health of children by supporting and engaging their parents and caregivers.
How We Support Families
Provides information, support, activities, and resources throughout pregnancy.
Parent educators encourage parent-child interaction through activities, provide child development information, and focus on your family’s needs, concerns, and hopes. Families may choose to participate through in-home, virtual, or phone visits.
Monthly groups offer the opportunity to share parenting experiences, gain insights, discuss topics of interest, and allow children to interact.
Regular screenings help ensure children are healthy, safe, and developing on track.
