About this organization
Mission
LEMAY CHILD AND FAMILY CENTER PROVIDES EARLY EDUCATION AND SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES IN A DIVERSE, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL SITUATION OR A CHILD'S DEVELOPMENTAL LEVEL. OUR GOAL IS TO STRENGTHEN FAMILIES BY PROMOTING CHILDRENS' PHYSICAL, COGNITIVE, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND BY PARTNERING WITH PARENTS AND COMMUNITY.
About
THE INFANT TODDLER PROGRAM AT LEMAY CHILD AND FAMILY CENTER TARGETS FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN UP TO 36 MONTHS OLD LIVING IN THE ST LOUIS AREA. THE PROGRAM IS STATE LICENSED FOR 29 CHILDREN. MOST OF THE CHILDREN COME FROM LOW INCOME FAMILIES WHOSE PARENTS ARE EITHER WORKING OR GOING TO SCHOOL. MORE THAN 90% OF THE CHILDREN QUALIFY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS. WE USE A PRIMARY CAREGIVER MODEL TO HELP PARENTS AND TEACHERS FORM STRONG RELATIONSHIPS AND TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CHILD BENEFITS FROM A NURTURING RELATIONSHIP BY BONDING WITH A TRUSTED ADULT CAREGIVER. TEACHERS USE THE CREATIVE CURRICULUM TO GUIDE LESSON PLANS AND DAILY ACTIVITIES WITH CHILDREN. CREATIVE CURRICULUM EMPHASIZES INDIVIDUALIZED CARE AND PLANNING SO THAT EACH CHILD PROGRESSES DEVELOPMENTALLY. ALL CHILDREN RECEIVE A FORMAL DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF STARTING IN THE PROGRAM AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT IS TRACKED ON AN ON-GOING BASIS THROUGH THE USE OF DEVELOPMENTAL CHECKLISTS AND REGULAR OBSERVATIONS. OUR PROGRAM HAS ALSO EMBRACED THE STRENGTHENING FAMILIES FRAMEWORK WHICH USES SEVEN STRATEGIES THAT HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THE STRATEGIES INCLUDE FACILITATING FRIENDSHIPS AND MUTUAL SUPPORT, STRENGTHENING PARENTING, RESPONDING TO FAMILY CRISES, LINKING FAMILIES TO SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES, FACILITATING CHILDREN'S SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT, RESPONDING TO SIGNS OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT AND VALUING AND SUPPORTING PARENTS.
