PREGNANT WOMEN

Partners for a Healthy Baby is the Curriculum that is used for our Home Based EHS and Pregnant Women Programs. Partners is a "two generational" curriculum that addresses the needs of both the parents and the child. We know that unless the family is stable, they cannot possibly meet the health and developmental needs of their young children. For that reason, Partners covers a wide array of issues related to Family Development and Family Health & Safety, and includes content that addresses Preparing and Caring for Baby/Toddler; and Baby's/Toddler's Development.

Ready Rosie is a Parenting Curriculum that can be used for parents that best fits their time frame. Parents receive an email or text weekly that contains 1 to 2 pre-selected videos that the teachers select individually for each child. Teachers select videos based on each child’s educational needs. The videos range from fine motor, gross motor, math, literacy, and many more areas that the families can work with their child at home. The parents are their child’s first teacher.
