STEP UP VENTURA provides therapeutic services and access to childcare and preschool for children ages zero to five who are affected by homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. We help infants, toddlers, and young children develop secure attachments and overcome the traumas they have faced.
Our program offers nurturing, calming, and appropriately stimulating activities throughout the day with specially trained early childhood educators, caregivers, and mental health workers.
Step Up Ventura requires parent involvement. Parents learn to understand and care for their children with interventions specifically targeted to early childhood brain development and healthy parent-child attachments.
