Healthy parents + Healthy children = Stronger families
A House in Austin provides family support for young families on Chicago’s west side, a community in need. It was founded on one simple idea: every child, every family deserves the same opportunities for high-quality early childhood learning and parent education. Our initiatives unfold across three realms, nurturing the growth of the future through early childhood development, empowering parents with knowledge and support, and fortifying the bonds within families through dedicated assistance .
Our vision is that empowered, compassionate, and engaging parents strengthen the future for their families with a positive impact that is passed from generation to generation.
Our mission is to create holistic programs—in a play and nature based parent-child center—which build responsive relationships to lessen the effects of toxic stress and EMPOWER parents to address the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of their children through the fostering of rich language environments, early literacy skills, and nurturing discipline methods in the home for academic and lifelong success.
