10. Part of what we factor in to family services is the age of the child WHO WE SERVE CHILDREN & FAMILIES BEFORE BIRTHBIRTH TO 5 YEARS5 – 12 YEARS OLD Prenatal Some of our programs will work with expecting parents, preparing them to become the best parents they can be before the baby arrives Early Childhood Some of the most critical brain development happens in the first five years of life, so many of our programs focus on children and their development before they enter the public school system School Age At five, most children enter the school system, so our programs for this age group happen outside of school, called Out- of-School Time (OST) OVERVIEW Our programs are also aligned on need of the family Now, let’s look a bit more closely starting with children and families …

11. WHO WE SERVE CHILDREN & FAMILIES SPECIAL NEEDSAT-RISKUNIVERSAL Many of our programs support families with children who are at-risk for developmental delays, and those with existing developmental delays and/or disabilities Some families are considered high risk for developing issues, like abuse or neglect, so our programs work to prevent problems by helping families build healthy dynamics For other programs, our service are open to all families seeking support, for example, Child Care Resource & Referral is open to all families across the state Our programs are also aligned on need of the familyWe also provide our services in a variety of ways

WHO WE SERVE CHILDREN & FAMILIES IN HOMESIN COMMUNITIESAT OUR OFFICES In many cases, we provide our services in the homes of families, using natural and existing tools in their environment to support parents in becoming the best parents they can be For some of our programs we will provide classes in community centers or other community locations, and our out-of-school programming, Happy Hours, works at the schools Some our trainings and workshops happen at our offices, and one of our programs, Maricopa Center for Adolescent Parents, is conducted onsite at the Phoenix office We also provide our services in a variety of ways

13. Because teenagers are in school, either middle school or high school, our programs for teens are almost always provided onsite, during regular school hours or before/after school. Like many our family programs, our teen programming is multi-dimensional but there are areas of emphasis that are important to our mission: WHO WE SERVE CHILDREN & FAMILIES We help families succeed As you continue your journey with Child & Family Resources, you will start to learn more about the specific programs for families, and to keep yourself oriented consider: 1)What age range is being served? 2)What are the needs of the family? 3)How are we delivering the service?

15. One of the other big ways we support the success of families is by supporting the professionals who provide care to children: childcare professionals. We don’t use the term “day care,” after all, the day isn’t being cared for, it’s the children! When childcare professionals are educated, well trained, and supported, they can make a life-long positive impact on children.
