TCCH board-certified pediatrician Dr. Souffrant explains that time spent together in the early stages of childhood is very beneficial for both parents and children in developing and nurturing a healthy relationship between parents and children. She continues, “Playing together helps parents learn and understand what their child is interested in and how they learn, along with helping children develop their social, motor and cognitive skills.”

TCCH client Rosalinda spends as much time with her daughter Hazel as possible because time goes fast, “I help her little by little each day so she is prepared before she goes to school.” Kindergarten readiness is a measure of success in high school, dropout rates, substance abuse, employment and overall health. According to the Indian River County Needs Assessment report, only 54% of children are prepared for kindergarten.
