Family Partner Program

We are currently seeking a Family Partner to join our team this summer. If you or someone you know would be interested in pursuing this role, please follow this link for more information and to apply.

Dear Talitha Koum parents, 

The first few years of our children’s lives provide us with some of the best opportunities to build a healthy, lasting attachment with our kids. The ways we love and care for our children now can make a world of difference in the years to come. While your children are enrolled at Talitha Koum we hope to support you as you support your children. 

All Talitha Koum parents and caregivers are warmly invited to our Parents Nights and special family events. You are also encouraged to reach out to our Family Partner whenever you need a safe place to discuss the joys and challenges of parenting. 

If you would like to participate or set up a meeting, please contact our by email. He is also happy to visit with you when you drop off or pick up your child.

Our Family Partner Program offers: 

  • A monthly opportunity for you and staff to build community over a shared meal. With hopes to develop solidarity and deepen relationships, Parents Night gives you time to relax, discuss raising your children, and solidify the belief that no one is alone in their parenting journey. TKI staff and volunteers care for children in the gym and provide them with dinner while all parents enjoy time together. For a few hours, TKI takes care of caretakers. 

  • The Family Partner program provides an opportunity for you to learn about the growth of your children’s foundations for learning and how to support the process. Knowing why your child responds to situations makes it easier to understand them, react more positively, and strengthen parent-child connections. All of these may promote children’s brain health.

  • Talitha Koum’s Family Partner builds respectful and trusting relationships with TKI caregivers to support you in managing the stresses of life and to tag along with you through the journey of raising children. 

    Through surveys and individual listening sessions, the Family Partner will learn your goals for yourself and help to develop smaller goals to reach them. Whether your goal is more education, a better-paying job, or improved housing or transportation, the Family Partner helps to find and use community resources to work towards your goals, reduce stress, and leave you better prepared to handle any surprise emergencies.  

    Our Family Partner also offers optional home visits and can accompany you to appointments as extra support, such as at the doctor’s office or school visits for your older children.
