Madres Para Ninos

Madres Para Ninos
○ Help Mom with sense of isolation because survey showed that parents did not have contact if a emergency occurred. This program will develop a social network for the mothers at Abbey Court.
○ Experience at School: There will be 10 sessions that will help the women understand the development of the child. This will show them how to be create learning experiences for the child through being resourceful and not spending money. For example, create a book form pictures at home. The program will also help them set up procedures and standards at home to reinforce the procedures and standards that are learned in the school. The facilitator will start discussion to help them learn form each other's experiences with their children.
○ This is a test trial so for the first session there will only be mothers with children in pre-school. This will start a month before school starts and 6 weeks after.
○ Ideas we discussed: providing child care (maybe doing it on Sat. or Sun. while children are playing soccer or providing childcare in the rear room in the learning center [potential noise problem])
