Children’s Trust expands family support services offered in collaboration with Partnership for Strong Families
Press release from Children’s Trust of Alachua County
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – The Children’s Trust of Alachua County is expanding its support for children and families through its continued collaboration with Partnership for Strong Families, kicking off a free child development program this March for families with children ages 0-8.
Help Me Grow Alachua is an evidence-based program that connects families with community resources to help them navigate and address concerns related to child development. The program, which is fully funded by the Children’s Trust, operates as an interconnected network of community resources, meaning families can access services spanning across healthcare, childcare, home visits, and more. Additionally, families can receive answers to their questions and concerns about child development, guidance on free developmental and behavioral screenings, and parenting tips and activities for their children.
“Support services offered by programs like Help Me Grow Alachua are among the ways we’re working to strengthen families and offer children every opportunity to thrive, from birth,” Marsha Kiner, executive director of the Children’s Trust of Alachua County. “We’re excited to offer this program and appreciate Partnership for Strong Families joining with us to make this program available to the community through our Family Resource Centers.”
Where are the programs for affordable daycare and teaching parents how to be proper parents? And exposing the children to the basics of respect for others and their property? Why they should know the difference between right and wrong? What the rule of law means?
Reading through the Website and other online information about trust it seems that this is another DEI program.
