Since 2010, LASOS (Linking All So Others Succeed) has been providing “Mommy and Me” classes to support non- English speaking Hispanic parents and their children, ensuring that their children are healthy and entering school ready to learn.

The general topic areas include: 1) Overview of Parenting; 2) Physical Needs of the Young Child; 3) Childhood Illnesses; 4) Understanding Children’s Behavior; 5) Cognitive and Language Development; 6) Emotional Needs of Children; 7) Social Needs of Children, 8) Self Awareness and Goals Setting, 9) Nutrition and the Young Child, and 10) Prenatal and Infant Needs.
