Challenged Family Resource Center and The Caring Kids Program. Our Playgroup consists of typically developing and non typically developing children ages 0-5 years of age. We work on social skills, milestones, and early education through the art of play. We believe that early education is key in making children of all abilities succeed socially and emotionally. We also believe that promoting early integration of abilities promotes acceptance, respect and understanding and is positive for children and our community.
Classes are open to all families in Merced. We have staff who speak Spanish, Hmong and English who run the sessions.We are culturally and ability diverse. Playgroups help all children be better prepared for kindergarten. Playgroups also give parents different learning tools in teaching their children by understanding certain stages in child brain development and milestones.
We would like to use this facility on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:30 - 1:30 Challenged FRC and Caring Kids have been in partnership since 2015. Together we have served hundreds of children and families in Merced from all walks of life. We also want to thank the City of Merced for considering a partnership in helping us continue our mission in serving young families.
Respectfully,
Jodi Frade
