TEAM (Teen Education and Mothering Program)
What is TEAM?
The
TEAM program supports and empowers pregnant women and mothers who have
babies as young as 6 weeks and as old as 18 months to continue earning
high school credits through guided, independent learning with a teacher
in a supportive environment; to develop their parenting and life skills;
and to address their emotional, social and physical well-being.
Work Towards Completing High School
Students
work at their own pace, attending Monday to Friday throughout the
school year. Each student has an individualized timetable and can access
a variety of school board resources and supports, including dual credit
programs.
Our
Program Facilitator supports the students with reaching personal and
family goals, and with accessing community programs for young mothers
and babies.
Snacks and a healthy lunch are provided. Students also participate in parenting and life skills programs and special workshops.
Support for Your Child
Infants
up to 18 months old receive child minding by a qualified Early
Childhood Educator, who provides the babies with a nurturing, safe,
educational environment. Moms are encouraged to feed and change their
babies at any time to promote a healthy relationship.
