Program areas at Children First Foundation

PARENTING EDUCATION CURRICULUM is a video/DVD-based curriculum targeting divorcing or separating parents to educate them on how to best help their children cope with the effects of family changes and conflict. Organizations can become providers of our parenting education course by purchasing a license. There are currently 12 licensed providers. The agency website offers the class on the internet for parents needing to complete the class and not attending class in the classroom. An internet class and site were created for College of Lake County (one of our licensees). In 2023 we revised our parenting education/course video, and it is now offered in Spanish and English versions.
SUPERVISED & OVERNIGHT PARENTING TIME PROGRAMS provide designated parking and separate entrances. Both programs ensure no contact occurs between parents during the exchange. Overnight parenting is designed to supervise the transfer of children between divorced or separated parents. This program targets high-conflict couples with a history of problems at the time of child transfer. During the Supervised Parenting Time the receiving parent is not allowed to leave the center with the child. The visit takes place on site. All families are court-ordered into these programs. The Family Center in St. Clair County served families with 621 scheduled exchanges and 624 supervised parenting times. The Madison County Kids Corner served families with 435 scheduled exchanges and 1,636 supervised parenting times.
PARENTING EDUCATION - Four-hour Children First classes are offered in Madison County on Mondays and Tuesdays (6-8pm) and in St. Clair County on Wednesdays and Thursdays (6-8pm). Each location offers a Friday class one time per month from 9:00am - 1:00pm. This scheduling allows morning options to participants. In Madison County 60 parents attended the class and, in St. Clair County, 49 parents attended. The four-hour internet class was taken by 2,108 individuals in St. Clair and Madison Counties and 1,121 in Lake County.
