Established by the CFVI Board during her tenure, The Family Connection (TFC) works to improve community child care and early education infrastructure for U.S. Virgin Islands children and their parents. In addition to offering workshops at TFC’s center, TFC also provides parents and childcare workers access to a wide variety of training programs, networking, and other early childhood focused resources.
The center is currently located in Tutu Park Mall, St. Thomas, and is open every Saturday, and Tuesday through Friday by appointment. It has become an important and well-used space for parents to share and develop effective child care techniques that are useful both in the Virgin Islands and elsewhere.
The impact of TFC can be felt beyond the center, as the organization trains child care providers and other caregivers to ensure that every child receives the best possible care. In turn, these trained child care providers pass along tips and other resources to parents.
