Outreach Family Support Program

Our Outreach Family Support Program is available to everyone at Cheerful Home. The goal of the program is to help families identify and eliminate obstacles for children to social-emotional, behavioral, and developmental growth, thus allowing the children to maximize their academic potential. The Outreach Coordinator works with the children, parents, families, teachers, and outside agencies to address financial, behavioral, developmental, or any other concerns the families may be facing.
