The purpose of a child's world (acw) is to encourage the cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth of young children within a developmentally appropriate environment. Acw offers early childhood education to children six weeks to five years, on-site state approved after school care for children ages five to twelve. Acw is proud to be one of only ten nationally accredited programs in north dakota. A child's world's primary goals are to: provide a developmentally appropriate environment for young children; support and strengthen the quality of life for young children and their families; and offer care in an environment that supports the needs of all families, regardless of their social, ethnic, or economic background.

Activity 3

The ywca transitional housing program (th) addresses the significant need for safe shelter in cass and clay counties and beyond. The populations served through the th program are single women and women with childern who are homeless. Other reasons for seeking transitional housing include economic hardship, job loss, evictions, mental and/or physical health, relocation, and chemical dependency. Additionally, the following challenges affect an individual's ability to achieve or sustain self-sufficiency: lack of affordable housing, limited transportation, inadequate childcare, lack of marketable skills/education, poor and/or lack of rental history and limited support system.the ywca cass clay was one of the first organizations in north dakota to offer transitional housing, and is the only program in the fargo-moorhead area that provides these services for women and children. Each year, the ywca th program receives many more applications than the program is able to accept, primarily due to the lack of available housing units and financial resources.
