Services Offered
Low cost housing and free child care affords our single moms the
opportunity to attend school. (Each resident, assisted by our
professional staff, creates a plan of action to achieve their educational
and vocational goals.) On site programs such as parenting, self-esteem
and budgeting enhance the experience of living at Our Mother's House
and assists moms to develop life skills for independence and
self-sufficiency.
House meetings and shared responsibilities afford each resident the
opportunity to share in their own community. While living in a private
apartment, the community setting teaches residents skills needed to live
as a good neighbor and active citizen of a community.
Our Mother's house has partnered with Children's First and established
an Early Head Start just for OMH children, and it is located on site. Early
Head Start opened in March 2010; it is a licensed program with certified
teachers who will ensure that in addition to a wonderfully warm and
caring environment, our children gain the skills and abilities they need
to enter the public school system. The center is open Monday to Friday
from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Mothers must provide diapers, wipes, food
and drink, and a change of clothes daily.
