Empowering Families in Delaware
For nearly four decades, the Delaware Parents Association has been a cornerstone in the community, dedicated to supporting children and parents through various impactful programs. One of the standout initiatives is the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which ensures that over 220 family day care homes receive nutritious meals and snacks. This program not only promotes physical well-being but also fosters overall development and growth in children.
Another vital initiative is the Family Support Network and Resource Center, which focuses on advocacy, education, and parent empowerment. Through workshops, seminars, and support groups, parents gain essential knowledge and skills to navigate the challenges of parenting, ultimately strengthening family dynamics and fostering a supportive community.
The Get Smart Don't Start Tobacco Prevention program is crucial in educating children and parents about the dangers of tobacco use. By raising awareness and providing resources, the association plays a significant role in safeguarding the health of the community's youth.
Additionally, the Delaware Parents Association addresses pressing issues such as separating/divorcing parenting and domestic violence through certified education classes, offering support and guidance to those in need. Overall, the diverse range of programs and services provided by DPA has profoundly impacted the community, creating a nurturing environment where families can thrive.
