Families” by providing program services that improve the
health, safety and quality of life for Oakland’s children
and youth. |

 Our
programs foster early childhood development and education,
family support and young children’s readiness for school
through teamwork with parents, staff and community partners. A
holistic approach integrates health, nutrition, early literacy,
parenting education, adult literacy, mental health services for
low-income children and their families.
