Childcare Support

This fundraiser will support making it possible for up to 100 children ages 0–17 to receive safe, enriching, supportive care while their mothers participate in Moms Night Out! This investment will provide early intervention-centered care for children 0-5, affording opportunities for individualized attention and monitoring for developmental delays. 

As children age out of classes with early intervention services, they will engage in STEM/STEAM-based play and gym time, led by ECMoms trauma-informed, relationship-based volunteers--for kids up to 2nd grade. 

Youth 3rd grade and older participate in Opened Eyes' LENS Program, where they will focus on growing in areas related to how they treat themselves and others, a critical topic for today's young leaders. Youth will engage in active, expert-led conversations about perception, identity, active listening, expressing one's thoughts in a healthy and respectful manner, empathy, and resilience.

This totals 3,150 hours of high-quality free child care provided in tandem with local experts and trauma-informed volunteers so moms can connect, learn, and grow alongside their peers. Because the same volunteers faithfully serve at each event, children and families come to know and trust the full team over time, creating a sense of safety, consistency, and belonging that strengthens the impact of the program. 

The child care team does more than supervise children—they build genuine relationships with families and become part of the caring community that makes Moms Night Out accessible, restorative, and transformative.
