Students create a plan for healthy pregnancy, safe childbirth, and an effective plan for adoption or healthy attachment with their children.  Students also learn independent living skills and develop a productive career plan for self-sufficiency.  Child Care is available on site.

"The teachers make me want to do better for myself and to want better for my kid. Without this program and the on-site child care, I would have never finished high school, let alone continued on to college."
