Parental Center - Early intervention support center

The project, within the relevant Roma community, focuses on the support of early care and parenting education, which is one of the most neglected areas for this vulnerable group. The development of children in marginalized Roma communities is negatively affected by their living conditions. The period of the first few years in a child's life is crucial. The aim of this project is to continue activities oriented at working directly with babies from birth, toddlers, infants and preschoolers and their mothers directly in families at home through the active participation of mentors - mothers directly from the local community. The benefit of the project is the employment of two women/mothers from the community. The project will include methodological materials for parents - leaflets "in hand" on topics according to individual education as well as a complex guide focused on early child care in the home environment from birth to individual months from 1 to 3 years, designated for workers with MRC as well as parents. Activities in new localities (Ochtiná, Moldava nad Bodvou) include the presentation of experiences and advice to local governments and community centers regarding early care in the home environment. The project is a continuation of a successful project implemented through the 1st call of the ACF program.
