The Children's Museum of Manhattan (CMOM) and Women in Need Inc. (WIN) launched new learning hubs at two family centers in Brooklyn to support children facing homelessness. With over 146,000 NYC students experiencing homelessness, the initiative provides early childhood education, family workshops, and professional development tailored for WIN staff. The interactive hubs, designed to foster learning and bonding, represent a crucial investment in the futures of vulnerable children, addressing their educational and developmental needs as highlighted by WIN's Christine Quinn.
"The biggest indicator of who will be homeless as an adult is if you were homeless as a child. Homeless children fall behind in school compared to their housed counterparts."
"We know homeless children often experience health problems and developmental delays, which negatively impact their academic performance, making early educational intervention critical."
