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.
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.
