Services:
Include regular vision, speech, hearing, and dental screenings. A full-time
RN, on-staff, monitors children's health and provides emergency care as
well as training and referrals to parents. Collaboration is ongoing for
expanded care with: Children's Hospital Oakland; West, East and North
Oakland Health Centers; Child Health & Disability Program; Clinica
de la Raza; Asian Health Services; Berkeley Center for Child Study; UCSF
Dental School and Highland Hospital.
Nutrition Program:
Children receive meals at breakfast, lunch and mid afternoon.
These three meals provide the complete daily nutrition requirements for
young children. This service is especially important for children who
leave their homes in early morning and may return shortly before a child's
bedtime.
Social Service Referrals:
Families experiencing trouble or a crisis situation initially
consult with our staff and are then referred to appropriate support services
in the community such as DSS, physical and mental health professionals,
homeless shelters, or crisis centers. Our professional staff provides
follow up, translation services and other assistance to ensure comprehensive
cooperation and collaboration.
