We’re excited to announce our new Child Development Associate (CDA) class partnership with Central Virginia Community College (CVCC)! The college is going to provide a space for us to teach the class on their campus. This course gives early childhood educators the knowledge they need to complete the CDA exam, which is essential to earning the CDA credential that gives educators the qualifications they need to become directors and leaders in the child care community. Your contribution helps build partnerships such as this that leads to strong foundations for the future of our community — our children.
The class will run at CVCC from Jan. 14-Oct. 6, 2016, and is limited to 30 people. Learn more today!

Building a strong foundation in the early years prepares children for success in school, social settings and life. Our Early Childhood Development programs help young children develop core competencies as well as confidence.
Our programs help people get out of debt, establish financial stability, increase self-sufficiency and advance career and educational opportunities.
Our services help children, teens and adults overcome emotional, behavioral and psychological challenges while keeping families together.
We offer three types of residential care for adults with intellectual disabilities as well as therapeutic foster care for children in need of a loving home.
These programs empower families to become healthy and successful. Parents learn necessary skills to prevent child abuse and neglect, to be more self-sufficient and to build a brighter future.
