Child Development and Well-being Programs

Our services are strength based, trauma informed, inclusive, supportive, and respectful, with a focus on building resiliency. 

Child development and well-being programs aim to help children gain a solid foundation in their early years. They actively engage children through a broad range of activities that strengthen, build, and support the mastery of skills. Our program promotes a child’s social, physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual well-being in order to assist the child to reach their developmental potential. 

Provide families an opportunity for social connections and play, while young children up to age 6, gain and master skills in all developmental domains.

Breaking down the research-backed ways parents and caregivers can support children's healthy brain development, Wright highlights the benefits of play on lifelong learning, behavior and well-being, sharing effective strategies to help all kids thrive by the age of five.
