Soho Center

For five decades, the Soho Center has organized, developed and implemented a variety of quality child care and model early childhood/elementary school programs, after school and enrichment programs, parent education programs, and teacher and child care provider training programs. The Soho Center has also created needed print, web, and video materials to support its mission. All programs and services, including major Book Giveaways, are designed to benefit large numbers of primarily low-income children and families. Taken together, the various elements of the Comprehensive Children's Literacy/Education/Child Care/REACH/Health Initiative demonstrate innovative solutions to improving the lives of infants, pre-schoolers, and school-aged children and their families. Enhancing children's education (including promoting children's literacy, nutrition, safety, and health) as well as promoting quality child care, school readiness, and school success is essential for children's development and well-being. This is consistent with the Soho Center's charter to develop and offer programs and services which contribute to children's educational outcomes and well-being.
