Students range from 14-18 and many are learning English as a second language. Located in the sunny mission, everyday teen moms and babies come to school. Young women can start at our school while they are expecting and continue after their baby is born. Students continue with their academic education as well as learn parenting skills, healthy baby strategies and useful community resources (including jobs and money management).
Until 2014, there was no library at our school.
Our library includes books and electronic resources for academics & a makerspace as well as books for little ones & teen pleasure reading.
Our students have very busy lives filled with school, homework, jobs and family responsibilities of caring full-time for an infant! When they come to school, they are eager to learn both academic work, parenting skills and work related skills.
My Project
Teen moms will be able to "check out" more than books from the school library.
We will create Treasure Baskets with safe, fun objects like measuring cups that children can explore & play with.
Teen moms will learn about safety with everyday items, including measuring for choking hazards. They will learn to select everyday items like pinecones, & what is safe for each age.
They will also learn that many, many household items are fun, safe and educational for their little ones. While mom is cooking, toddlers can stir, measure & talk about baking!
These Treasure Baskets will be models for our students to create age appropriate, at home Treasure Baskets for their little ones.
