Early Child Education

Life of a Child Program
The Life of a Child Program is a community based prevention initiative program established in partnership with Chicago Public Schools Office of Early Childhood to identify and address the early developmental needs of infants and toddlers. This home visiting program focuses on providing child development and supportive services to high risk families throughout the city of Chicago. Families are empowered through guided parent-child interaction that encourage early childhood education among low income populations. Program components include home based parent and child education, developmental screenings, crisis intervention, Early Intervention referrals and parent support groups.

True To Life Foundation strives to empower parents to be leaders and make a positive impact in their family and communities. The Life of a Child Program currently operates in partnership within local high schools, homeless shelters, and community sites.
