Baby's Space Child Development Center: Community Resource Hub
Wilder Research
In 2021, Baby's Space became a Community Resource Hub. Funded by Minnesota's federally-funded Preschool Development Grant (PDG), the Community Resource Hubs help pregnant and parenting families with children under age 9 connect with needed resources. Baby's Space: A Place to Grow is a child development center that works to create a cycle of academic success and prosperity for families dealing with the systemic impacts of poverty, racism, and exclusion. Through the Strong Families, Strong Bonds project, they collaborate with Hennepin County, Minneapolis Public Schools, and other community partners to deepen and more effectively coordinate support for children and families who live in the Little Earth housing development. Through this work, they aim to better meet families' intersecting needs and help families achieve or maintain stability to create home environments in which they and their children can thrive. This report summarizes program successes and challenges; the hub's reach and family needs; and shares parent stories.
