ParentChild+

Southeast Youth & Family Services is part of an international network of locally-run ParentChild+ early learning service providers that offer a proven and effective school readiness program to families challenged by poverty, lack of educational opportunities, and language and literacy barriers, wherever they call home.  We currently serve families from the Black, Latinx, Ethiopian and Somali communities. 

Home visits with children & families

Each family is matched with a community-based early learning specialist who shares their culture and language and visits with them twice a week. Our early learning specialists know the neighborhoods they are working in, the challenges that may come with living there, and the resources the families can access.

Our goal is to build meaningful relationships with families and support parents in realizing their role as their children’s first and most important teachers.

Early learning specialists model reading, conversation, and play activities to stimulate parent-child interaction and promote the development of verbal, cognitive, and social-emotional skills critical for children’s long-term success.

Our goal is to build meaningful relationships with families and support parents in realizing their role as their children’s first and most important teachers. We empower parents to put their children on the path to school and life success, to dream for their children’s futures, and to take pride in their educational accomplishments because they help make them happen.
