The first three years of a child's life are the most important, 90% of brain development happens before the age of 5. Whatever happens to a child prenatally and for the first 3 years of life shapes his or her health and well-being forever.
At Family Network, we provide prenatal and parenting education and support through home visits to vulnerable families in NWA. For more than 20 years, we have been meeting families where they are, with their needs for education and advocacy when confronted with challenges of low income, abuse, low educational attainment, teen pregnancy, etc.
We need YOUR help to expand these services to more families in Washington County and beyond.
Every penny of this goes to fund our home visitation programs that provide child development education, positive parenting practices, aid/support in educational aspirations, support in obtaining childcare, monthly parent group meetings and more!
