Parent Infant Center

"That is why the work that we do with young children is so important. Just as hatred is taught, so is kindness, love, fairness, and justice."

Go forth under the open sky, and list to Nature's teachings. ~ William C. Bryant Pandemic silver lining: More time outdoors!

Happy New Year! As 2021 gets underway, we are renewed in our commitment to face the months ahead. We are grateful for the responses to our calls for help. Your outpouring of support and generosity very literally keeps PIC here for the families and staff who rely on us. This is such a strong community of friends and families. We thank you.

We may have looked different in 2020--temp-taking, mask-wearing, more cleaning, but we face the new year prepared for what lies ahead. We can't do it alone. Now more than ever, we need to call upon our community for help. Please give to our Annual Fund: https://parentinfantcenter.networkforgood.com/projects/71079

As virtual learning in Philadelphia continues, we need your help. Your gift to PIC will give a school-age child the loving support they need to succeed. You will ensure that PIC teachers get the paycheck they rely on, You will provide relief to families who do not have the ability to support their children at home. Please give to our Annual Fund: https://parentinfantcenter.networkforgood.com//proje/71079.

Here's HOPE...At PIC, friends reflect upon their similarities and celebrate their difference. They look at eye color and the many shades of their skin. They read books where they see themselves represented. In each classroom, children build friendships, learn respect, and are guided through peaceful conflict resolution. In each self portrait, we nurture self love. We find HOPE in the many shades of PIC. Ask yourself today "where do I find hope?" Let us know below!

Logged in and ready to go...The School Day Support Program at PIC was created to help working families and children during this VERY different school year. We help get them to class, and most importantly we get them OUTSIDE!

Although it took a health crisis, the US investment in Child Care is poised for change. PLEASE VOTE for kids on November 3. #everyvotecounts

If this health crisis doesn’t underscore that Teachers are the real superheroes in this world, what will it take? Grateful for the work all teachers do!

The census significantly impacts Philadelphia and its communities. A complete and accurate count is vital! #CountAllKids Visit: https://2020census.gov/en.html
