We offer comprehensive services for at-risk and homeless families in underserved and impoverished communities.

Free Parenting Classes:

Child Developmental Screening:
We offer free at-home developmental screenings for children ages 0-5. These screenings help parents assess how their child is developing in few key areas, such as communication and social skills. Participating families will receive free developmental books and toys and may also be referred to additional resources, if necessary. If you would like your child to participate in this free assessment, please visit our website to request more information.

ParentChild+:
ParentChild+ is a national early learning program for Hillsborough County children ages 2-3. This program helps develop your child’s reading and early learning skills at home for school readiness and life success. An Early Learning Specialist will visit once a week for 23 weeks bringing a book or toy that is free for the family to keep each week. These visits and gifts will help prepare your child for future success.
