Founded in 1961, Mothers’ Club prepares families living in isolation and poverty to succeed in school and in life through two-generation learning programs. Mothers’ Club services are comprised of high quality, research-based early childhood education for children ages 0-5, and a comprehensive adult program which includes parenting education, leadership training, adult literacy, vocational exploration, group counseling and social networking for the primary caretaker, most often the mother. Contact Information: 526 East Orange Grove Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91104 http://www.mothersclub.org/V1/ Funding For: Mothers' Club Family Literacy Project Mothers' Club Community Center has provided a four-component family literacy program. The majority of the families are Spanish speaking immigrants with limited English language skills and a low level of formal education. With the First 5 LA funding, the organization provides the four components of a family literacy program in Pasadena. Parents take parent education classes once a week in English and in Spanish. They also take part in weekly parent support groups led by licensed psychologists, to help them deal with the frustrations and anxieties that accompany parenthood. Their children from 0 to 5 participate daily in the high-quality early childhood education program. |
