The Difference YOU Make: Stephanie’s Story

“Being a single mother is not always easy, but having the support from my Kidspace family has been a tremendous help.” – Stephanie*

Stephanie is a devoted mom with two children enrolled at House of Ruth’s Kidspace Child and Family Development Center.  Life has brought her many challenges: domestic violence, job loss, and the daily struggles of raising children as a single parent. Stephanie found more than childcare at Kidspace—she found a true community for her children and herself.

Families like Stephanie’s receive far more than daycare at Kidspace. They find multigenerational programs from a dedicated staff designed to support the whole family thrive—all provided at no cost thanks to your generosity. 

For children:

  • 3 nutritious meals each day
  • An array of therapeutic services, including speech, music, and play therapy
  • A play-based learning program guided by the Creative Curriculum

For parents and caregivers:

  • A Family Engagement team for one-on-one support and resource connections
  • Access to wellness coaching, counseling, and therapeutic services
  • A welcoming community of other parents raising young children

Because of you, Stephanie’s children are meeting their developmental milestones. As a parent, Stephanie has the resources, encouragement, and community she needs to keep moving forward.

Your support ensures that all families in House of Ruth’s care receive the individual, holistic care they need to thrive. Renew your giving today and consider becoming a monthly donor.
