Our Early RISErs program is continuing to expand and grow as we developed more modules of our curriculum with Tandem. This program offers weekly interactive classes for infants and their caregivers with a focus on early literacy and other key areas of development such as health nutrition and social well-being. An off-shoot of our Early RISErs program is our Mommy Moments which was created organically through the direct desire for caregivers to have dedicated time set aside for them to share their concerns support and ideas. They also meet once a week and has become an important part of their well-being. Over the course of the year we also continued to grow our Little Blue House Collaborative. This collaborative consists of several other nonprofit organizations in San Mateo County working with families with children 0-5. Our collaborative partners provide programs and services promoting early childhood development including playgroups parent education classes and health screenings. We are a community hub offering a safe and welcoming space to come gather and discuss topics that impact their lives and have access to resources.
