Baby & Me Project with Head Start Preschool
We led a series of ongoing events that promoted infant-child development, which included an infant CPR class. Our objectives were:
I. To work with the community to develop multiple educational modules within the project “Baby and Me,” with the broad goal of educating parents on infant-child development.
II. To tailor the educational modules to the population’s perceived needs and wants.
III. To promote educating the community on complex information in a simple, understandable way (including utilizing the primary language of the population).
IV. To build a program that will be helpful to parents in promoting the development of their children.
V. To collaborate with a variety of health educators in South Park and to bring the community together as one to promote education in South Park.
VI. To evaluate the project after each session, in hopes that parents will rate the modules as effective and beneficial, but to also hear where the sessions could use improvement.
VII. To build a sustainable project that can be carried on in the future, and set forth plans for future classes.
