I
followed some new links that I have never explored before and came across some
wonderful sites. I found the Harlem Children’s Zone. This particular website
interested me greatly. After looking through the site, there was this certain
section called the baby college. It is a two in a half month workshop for
expectant mothers and parents with children under the age of three. These
classes promote verbal discipline and accurate reading skills. All services are
provided free of charge to participating families. The purpose of this program
is to provide each family a fair opportunity to raise a healthy and well
developed child from birth. Yes, there is a newsletter about this program that
goes into detail about the program requirements and expectations. I learned that multiple child care aspects
are developed and introduced through this program.

What a great program. How do young mothers become involved? I think it sounds like a great resource for young mothers, who need the guidance and support. Giving them the knowledge and education to help them be successful parents, helps them to understand the great role they will play in their child's life! They can feel more confident and probably build a great support network!! Thanks for the info.!

Awesome! It's clear that the founders of this incredible program started with the "end" in mind--COLLEGE!! And the best part is that it is FREE!! I'm sure alot of expecting mothers, young mothers, 1st time mothers, etc can benefit from this as we ALL want the absolute best for our children. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is great to have a program such as this to offer these services free. I just hope that mothers and expecting mothers take advantage of this great opportunity. Thanks for imparting this valuable information with us.
ReplyDeleteHello Sha’Keema,
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you for sharing this great website! This is a fascinating community organization serving so many families. I love that their goal is to make every community member feel comfortable and to participate in the various programs. This is a program that appeals to a diverse community and that employs a diverse staff. What a great way to welcome mothers and fathers with music and movement including everyone with the rhythm of life. “Baby College” is a program that would be worth cloning because parenting skills are unfortunately not taught in school. Again, thank you very much!
