Smart & Secure children of Elmore County
ECFRC partners with the Hispanic community in Elmore County to ensure that Hispanic children get the support they need at home. The program will collaborate with local elementary schools and Hispanic churches to support the needs of families. Utilizing the Smart & Secure Children curriculum, parents are educated on fundamental development stages. This curriculum pairs seamlessly with the Strengthening Families framework, a research-based, cost-effective strategy to increase family stability, enhance child development, and reduce child abuse and neglect. Additionally, ECFRC incorporates the Alabama Parent Leadership curriculum to empower parents as leaders in their community. This initiative helps create a network of parent leaders, elevating their voices and fostering a supportive environment throughout Elmore County.
