Child Focus programs improve coping mechanisms, provide support, promote school readiness and success and encourage growth and self-sufficiency for the children and families in our community.

Early Learning

Research indicates that by the time your child is 5, 85% of their brain has developed. Quality pre-kindergarten education that includes a safe, stimulating environment, social interactions, and learning experiences is crucial in establishing life-long healthy patterns and development.

Mental Health

Children who are mentally ill often affect the education of those around them due to their disruptive behaviors. Children who are mentally ill also have a dramatic effect on their caregivers, both parents and teachers.

School

With our staff on-site in the schools, it is our goal that students with mental health issues are identified and intervened with early. Barriers to learning must be addressed so schools can accomplish their educational mission.

Foster Care

Foster parents are ordinary people who choose to get involved with children in need. They can be married couples, single parents, empty nesters, stay at home and working parents. Foster parents do not have to be rich, in fact, they come from all income levels. What is important, is that they have room in their hearts, their homes and their lives to share with a child in need.
