Parent and caregiver involvement is critical to children’s development. OYC Miami’s Family Services Team provides an extensive array of support services aimed at enhancing parent-child interactions, social support for families, and promoting the academic success and social emotional development of children.
One of the core service components includes OYC Miami’s Nurturing Parenting Program which includes a series of group sessions aimed to support parents/caregivers with children ages 2-17. This program is designed to offer parents a toolbox of culturally relevant ideas and strategies that aid them in supporting their child across their developmental milestones and in having a greater understanding of positive parenting skills that can be utilized in a wide range of parenting situations.
Additional parent engagement initiatives include:
- Attendance at Annual Parent/Caregiver Orientations
- Support from OYC staff in attending parent-teacher conferences and IEP meetings
- Special events and engagement opportunities for families such as holiday meals, family summits, and other opportunities that promote family bonding and celebrate and acknowledge parent success
- Support Services offered through the EDEN Place Family Resource Center
