Educational Programs

At the Child Health Research Center, we empower parents and caregivers through community-based education tailored to their needs. Many programs use a responsive parenting approach, focusing on nurturing relationships and healthy development. We recruit through our early childhood and school-age programs and proudly partner with PA WIC to reach more families. Our goal is to offer learning experiences that create lasting benefits for children and their caregivers.

Online Learning

We created Feeding Young Children for parents and caregivers to take some of the stress and guesswork out of feeding your child. This series of interactive, online modules was developed in collaboration with PA WIC and has been evaluated and approved for use for all PA SNAP-Ed partners. Each self-paced module may take 15-30 minutes to complete. To learn more, please click on the modules below.
