individualized service plan based on a timeline that suits your needs. For example, if

days.

Testimonials
Our valued clients share their experiences of how our services have made a positive impact on their work.
The impact was great. I learned a lot during the sessions with Ramapo for Children. They taught me how to work better with my students. I’m putting into practice what the program taught us.

I am very grateful for Family Child C.A.R.E NYC . The Specialists from ParentChild+ cares about my children. I can always rely on them when I need something. The parents also like seeing the work of art the kids do at my daycare. Whenever I need advice, I can ask the program for help.

Thanks to Family Child C.A.R.E. NYC, at the time we needed help due to a building disaster, you were the only ones to help us both emotionally and financially. We are very grateful for the support LIIF and ParentChild+ provided to our child care program. We really didn’t have a way to pay for rent and thanks to your help we were able to reopen without debt. Thank you with all my heart.

Family Child C.A.R.E. NYC helped me a lot! Ramapo for Children helped me learn to manage conflicts between children, they also taught me to learn to relax during work. I also feel that I have improved a lot in my experience as a provider. And for my assistants these workshops have also been very important.
