Change started with me two years ago...
...when I enrolled in a parent education program. The program helped me make the right choices while I was pregnant and taught me how to take care of my newborn. Thanks to Crestwood Children’s Center, an affiliate of Hillside Family of Agencies, my daughter and I are a happy, healthy family.
Early Childhood
Research has shown that children who receive the best possible start in life are more likely to achieve their full potential. United Way is working to improve the conditions that affect our children in their most critical years - birth to age five. Your support for the Community Fund is providing Parent Education Programs to help moms and dads develop appropriate nurturing skills and reduce child abuse, and Early Intervention Programs for early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of special needs.
