Early Childhood Development Class

The early childhood development class has approximately 20 women at any time. This class is invaluable in getting the Haitian women the skill they need to raise a young child. During this time they interact one-on-one with American women who teach coping skills (malaria prevention, spending money wisely, importance of breastmilk, and child interaction). In addition to this education, they are given eggs, milk and vitamins for one year. Depending on when a woman enters the pre-natal class, close to two years are spent with each woman in close relationship.
