The Center For Alexandrias Children Inc

Prevention - the organization provides a citywide playgroup program - learn & playgroups , providing developmentally appropriate play-based experiences for children 0-5 and building resiliency for high-risk families who lack access to affordable, quality child development activities and needed parenting support. The program is a strength- and evidence-based model that is founded upon current research in the fields of early childhood development, education, and policy and also upon grassroots needs assessment for alexandria, serving as a critical link in a continuum of early childhood and abuse prevention services in the city and providing a turnkey replicable program.

Community education - the organization stimulates community education/outreach efforts focused on child abuse intervention and prevention and promotes community awareness/education and best practices to protect and strengthen vulnerable children and their families. To protect every alexandria child from sexual abuse, we are training adults, especially those involved with child-serving organizations, about how they can prevent this crime. The center works collaboratively throughout the city to deliver prevention programs, and share information about child safety, child protection and positive parenting.
