Parents
and Tots Program - RSHM LIFE Center
Parents and Tots is a
pre-school program for toddlers, with a support component for the parent or guardian who
accompanies the child. In this program
children are immersed in the English Language, learn to follow directions, learn social
skills, learn to play with other children and begin to separate from their mothers for
periods of time. This enables the children
to prepare for school.
During the time that
the children are in their group, the mothers study English and participate in a women’s
support group. These activities empower the women to develop as individuals, reduce
isolation, provide them with a peer network, and enable them to grow in self-knowledge
and self-esteem.
