East Los Angeles Health Care Project
The East Los Angeles Health Care Project will target children 0-5 years in the Greater East Los Angeles Area. A mobile unit will provide medical, dental and mental health services to home-based childcare provider sites and local Head Starts. The goal of the program is to promote good health through prevention, early intervention, and treatment of children ages 0-5 years and to provide the necessary support to produce a social and emotionally stable environment for disadvantaged children.

Families, Friends and Neighbors Initiative
This El Proyecto program for licensed-exempt childcare providers offers classes, mentoring, social events, community resources and incentives including transportation, food, childcare and financial incentives to exempt childcare providers. Participants will gain child development knowledge, experience a supportive Mentors-Mentee relationship, establish social connections, gain knowledge of community resources and be offered incentives to participate in the program.
