The Center for Children and Families (CCF) is a research and outreach center that provides families with education and support to foster their resilience and success. CCF’s mission is focused around three key initiatives: parenting healthy children, strengthening interpersonal relationships, and enhancing thinking and learning.
In the CCF Annual Forum and Spring Lecture Series, we share the latest research with diverse audiences working to promote children’s healthy development. Translating this research into innovate practice, CCF implements outreach programming to promote strong foundations for developmentally at-risk children.
Our Crece Conmigo (Grow With Me) program provides developmental screenings for children ages 0-5, developmental guidance for their parents, and referrals for needed intervention services when delays and disabilities are identified.
Juega Conmigo (Play With Me), our dual-generation playful learning program for children ages 0-3 together with their parents, fosters self-regulatory behavior, learning skills and promotes growth-promoting parent-child relationships at five program sites in high-need communities.
Please consider making a gift in support of the center’s educational and outreach activities.
