Childhaven New Program Spotlight

Join Childhaven to hear about our evolving therapeutic child care model, designed to support young children within their community early learning environments.

We know that when kids and families are facing significant adversity, it shows up in classrooms, often causing significant disruption in those critical early learning years. We also know that sometimes the additional supports and services needed are cumbersome to already stressed families.

In this new program, we are taking what we’ve learned from decades of providing trauma-informed therapeutic child care and applying it to support kids, families, and providers in early learning settings throughout our community. This program focuses on building up the capacity of classroom and home caregivers to support kids when they struggle. It also allows us to offer services and supports to families in a setting that is chosen by the family, in community, and in a culturally-relevant setting. We are eager to share more about this exciting evolution!

This video explains the barriers that create toxic stress inherent in many of our families' lives. It also explains the basis for our new Therapeutic Childcare Model. Feel free to share this video and event with friends and family who you think would be interested in learning more about how to build resilient communities.
