General Info

Waiting until families fail is very costly to the community " both in financial resources and human costs. When families fail, children may be placed in foster care and must deal with intervention services such as counseling. Children whose needs are not met as a young child may become involved in criminal activity and the juvenile court system.Children who are abused or neglected often become prematurely sexually active producing teenage pregnancy. The Children's Defense Fund, a national child advocacy group states that "for every dollar we invest in a child before they reach school, we save $6.75" in remedial and health care services. Prevention just makes good economic sense and taxpayers should be aware of that savings. Yet prevention can be a nebulous term. How can we prove what doesn't happen to families?1. What is Nurturing Center The Nurturing Center is a family resource center founded over 30 years ago ; we provide programs and services that support the needs of families. We offer educational programs and supportive services so parents can raise happy, healthy children.We offer free child care referrals to parents and can help some families pay for their child care costs.
