đź’š Growing plants. Growing confidence. Growing community.

At one of the activities at our Black Breastfeeding Fair, moms were invited to slow down, connect with nature, and celebrate their own growth through our Planting Positivity activity. Each participant decorated a pot, planted something new, and chose affirmations to take home as a daily reminder of their strength.

Because just like a plant, when we are nurtured, supported, and cared for, we thrive. 🌱✨

Minnie Barton was one of the women who shaped Los Angeles and you’ve probably never heard of her. She took it upon herself to help women in need and their children. This year we celebrate our 120 year anniversary since Minnie Barton started the Big Sister League later renamed Children’s Institute.

Help us continue mini’s legacy by supporting the work that we do to help families and children in Los Angeles.

In honor of the upcoming Hispanic heritage month, we’re doing a series about how we serve the Hispanic community in our organization.

This is Sandy Moralles, who was inspired to become a therapist because she saw the huge demand for Spanish language therapy.

Part of providing Spanish language therapy is explaining the terms and getting on the same page about words the patient uses to describe their mental state.

Have you done Spanish language therapy? What was your experience? Would you be interested in trying it? Let us know in the comments!

Participants from our Fatherhood Project program were given a very special experience by one of our donors: amazing tickets to a football game!

Going to their first football game can be incredibly exciting, but getting to share that experience with their family is even more special!

Project fatherhood was developed to give urban, culturally, diverse fathers, an opportunity to connect with their children and play a meaningful role in their lives. Do you know someone that might benefit from such a class?

For decades, Michele and Rob Reiner were among the nation’s most influential champions for children and families.

Among their most significant achievements was their leadership in establishing First 5 California through the voter-approved to***co tax initiative, which has generated more than $12.5 billion to help children thrive during the most critical years of life since its inception.

The inaugural Michele & Rob Reiner Champion for Change Award will be presented to Jamie Lee Curtis at Children’s Institute’s Cape & Gown Gala on Sunday, November 8, at The Beverly Wilshire hotel in Beverly Hills.

“I can’t think of a more meaningful way to honor the legacy of my sister Michele and my brother-in-law Rob,” says Martine Singer, President and CEO of Children’s Institute.

What does childcare have to do with politics? If you’re a parent, a lot! LAist has created a survey to ask parents in LA about their experience with childcare and will bring that to the candidates in the next election to get their stance on childcare. That way, LA voters will have more information on how they want to cast their vote about the issues that matter to them.

We were pleased to host Sabrina Sanchez and the LAist booth at one of our Community Conversation events at Children’s Institute so they could get more survey participants and talk with our community.

Click the link in our bio to see all our programs and to take the survey! We want to hear from you!
