Parents Everywhere

BETA Center’s mission is to give children and parents the knowledge and support needed for strong and healthy families; with a focus on teen moms and at-risk families.

Pregnant and parenting teens are embraced with comprehensive programs designed to meet their special needs. Youth learn coping skills and the other developmental assets needed to successfully navigate school and life. Infants thrive under developmentally stimulating care. BETA Center promotes positive parent/child interaction, and helps children and parents grow together.
