Teen Parent Program
- Lawrence High School Center
- Family Child Care in homes in Lawrence and Methuen
- Support for teen parents
The Teen Parent Program, for children from 3
months to 3 years, is designed to give
nurturing care to infants and toddlers and
support services to teen parents so that
they can continue their education. Children
receive individual attention from caregivers
in small groups. Special consideration is
given to infants' schedules for napping,
feeding, and cuddling. Toddlers benefit from
activities that support language,
socialization, and their growing sense of
independence. Teens are picked up with their
babies at home and driven to the care site
and school. Weekly support groups deal with
parenting skills, career counseling, and
coping with all the challenges of balancing
the needs of home and school.
