- Developmental Education for Parents Program (DEPP)
Our Developmental Education Program for Parents (DEPP) operates on-site within the Family Developmental Center, annually providing 70 low-income, at-risk parents with stipended, educational workshops that address basic childhood development issues, including the relationship between early parenting practice and children’s cognitive, social, and behavioral capacities to learn.
Working with children’s earliest educators – their parents – in a familiar and culturally-sensitive environment, DEPP helps low-income, at-risk parents to begin to perceive themselves as their children’s valuable and successful “first teachers,” aware of the long-lasting effects of early social interaction and environment on children’s overall development.
Services are provided at no charge or on a sliding scale.
