Teen Mom Infant Childcare Program
SERVICES
In addition to child care, we offer many unique services!
MENTOR MOMS
All teen moms bringing their children into our program are required to be a part of our mentor mom program. Mentor moms have been trained to be a friend and advisor to young mothers. This program is meant to be a support to teen moms and to teach them skills that they will need. Mentor moms will be assigned to each teen mom. They will be required to be in contact with each other at least once a week, and meet face-to-face twice a month.
LIFE SKILLS WORKSHOPS
We will have life skills workshops available twice a month. The workshops will teach you how to fill out any financial aid forms necessary. Workshops will also address topics such as building a budget, SIDS, shaken baby syndrome, and nutrition. We will also show moms how to teach their children through learning activities, engaging the five senses, reading, and nursery rhymes.
ONE-ON-ONE THERAPY
This service is optional, but is highly recommended for any young mother seeking extra support. Being a mom is difficult, especially without having a strong support system in place. One-on-one therapy can show you healthy ways to cope with any challenges you may face as a mom, and how to have a good relationship with your child. The licensed therapist working with us is trained in attachment therapy. Any therapy sessions can be paid by Medicaid.
