Christina Kent Early Childhood Center
Melvin is a single dad who came to Christina Kent Early Childhood Center 10 months ago needing childcare for his daughter Naiwah, who is diagnosed with autism. Melvin had called 26 different childcare programs and personally visited 12 of them and none were willing to enroll his daughter. Melvin had been homeless and lost his own business due to a family situation. After we accepted Naiwah into CKECC, he was able to get an apartment, enroll into CNM and go to his classes regularly. Naiwah has been accepted into our Center and by her peers.
PB&J Family Services
Spencer was three years old when he was taken away from his mom. For two years he lived in a foster home and saw his mom only at PB&J Family Services. Four times a week, the PB&J van would pick up Spencer from his foster home and take him to PB&J’s South Valley facility. He would run off the van into the arms of his mother and spend the next two and one-half hours with her and PB&J counselors in the therapeutic preschool. When Spencer was taken from his mother, the young woman was homeless, in an abusive relationship, and had very little self-esteem.
