Nurse-family Partnership

"Especially the first couple of months you don't know what you are doing. It is so wonderful to have someone come to your home and answer your questions and someone you can go to because you trust them. I think every mother should get this. She is just great."

-Nurse-Family Partnership Nurse

“My client came into the program, pregnant at 14 years of age. She had been molested by a family member. She didn't know who the father of her baby was. She needed to finish 8th grade at the time she started NFP. She was eager to learn and was successful at breastfeeding her baby for about 1 year. She completed the entire NFP programs and completed high school. I kept in touch with her by sending encouraging notes from time to time. Five years after she started the program, our paths crossed and I learned she was attending college and getting a GPA of 4.0! She seemed so pleased and confident, and still was a committed mother."

The Incredible Years

Parent Program

"I have been really enjoying the Incredible Years Parenting class. It has shown me how to practically eliminate many of the most common negative behaviors in my children, and given me effective tools to handle even the most difficult negative behaviors calmly."

"I finally found a program that has a positive impact in the Hispanic community. It has been effective in their lives. This program has really had my Spanish families involved and willing to participate...words can't say enough what this program has done in these families' lives."

"Since taking this class I have been able to handle situations with my child in a more calming manner and have seen many changes in my child also."

"I love the class and have seen a change in my relationship with my kids and between my children themselves and it has made my home life more peaceful."

Child/Teacher Program

"Children love talking about feelings and love pretending to 'feel' different emotions. Dinosaur School has given us a forum for kids to talk about emotions and events in their lives which has been so beneficial for the children. The feelings part of Dinosaur School has definitely taught my kids their favorite lessons so far!"

"Teaching in a classroom with some very challenging social and emotional behaviors was very overwhelming. Dinosaur School has given me some extremely useful and effective strategies for increasing positive behavior. Yeahhh!!!"

"I have been blown away by the quality of the staff associated with Dinosaur School/Incredible Years. They are knowledgeable, motivated, and always willing to go above and beyond to help us out in any way possible. The support that they are capable of and the enthusiasm behind it motivates me to be the best teacher I can be."

"The Dinosaur School Program has provided our teachers with the knowledge, ideas, materials, and strategies to assist them in their work with young children. This is the first comprehensive, developmentally appropriate social/emotional tool that I've seen for preschool aged students. This program provides teachers and staff with the support they need to be successful in their classrooms. What makes this program unique is that the training staff is available at a moment's notice to help guide the staff in implementing the curriculum. Every time that the training staff leaves, the teachers are rejuvenated and ready to tackle the daily challenges in the classroom."
