• Critical Stop-Gap scholarships for temporary support of families in crisis or transition (such as a job loss or serious illness)
• Bi-annual parent-teacher conferences and continuous communications so that the parents and CDA act as partners in the child’s education.
• Spring and fall parenting education seminars with an emphasis on positive parenting, age-appropriate expectations, effective discipline techniques and other information to foster well-functioning families
• Family support and referral services to address a child’s special needs or other challenges facing the family
• Family-friendly events to foster parent involvement in their child’s education, such as Black History Month and Cinco de Mayo celebrations, End-of-Summer Picnic, and children’s performances.
