Families in South Austin faces real challenges.
POVERTY
55% of children under the age of 5 in Austin live with families experiencing poverty or deep poverty.
VIOLENCE- MOST HOMICIDES
In 2016, Austin ranked 1st in the city for the number of violent crimes and homicides.
EDUCATION
2/3 of students from Austin are on the path to dropping out of high school by the time they complete third grade.
The stress of living in this environment can have lasting negative effects on the developing brain. Research shows a strong bond with a parent or caregiver can buffer the stress for the child.

HOW WE HELP
Our parent-child music classes strengthen bonds for healthy relationships, increase early language and literacy skills, and foster community so families are supported, nurtured, and successful.
Our Parent Chat Hour teaches parents the latest methods-founded in brain science and grounded in a trauma-informed approach- and provides a community of peers to empower parents to be their children's most engaging, compassionate, and best teachers in life.
We offer parents the Parent Café with yoga to provide mindfulness and relaxation for parents to give their very best selves to their children.
Our Home Visiting Program, Parents As Teachers, gives parents weekly one-on-one support and the tools to create and sustain positive relationships and environments at home.
We take a two-generational approach aimed to impact families positively for generations to come.
