The Early Childhood Education Program is an inclusive childhood environment that fosters the growth and development of each child as an individual.  The Early Childhood Educators plan and implement developmentally appropriate experiences and outings for the children and families staying at the house, allowing them to the opportunity to experience, grow and learn.  Keeping routines and structure during this time of crisis is imperative.

Our goal is to meet each child's developmental needs in all areas-physical, cognitive, emotional, social and spiritual.  We do so by promoting early intervention, utilizing community referrals and by empowering mothers/caregivers by providing them with education and access to resources.

The Early Childhood Educator:

• advocates on behalf of children associated with Faye Peterson Transition House
• assists mothers/caregiver's and their children reintegrate into the school system
• cares for children during adult appointments
• provides quality childcare for children living in the house as well as children of former residents who are participating in programming within the house
• forms a safety Plan with all children
• provides respite care for children of women in crisis
