Through the Family Program, families gain the skills, knowledge, and

child's healthy growth and development.

The Health Program provides
comprehensive and integrated health
services in collaboration with community
resources for the children, families, and
team members at Jack & Jill Center. This
program was designed using the CDC's
Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Model.
Through comprehensive assessments, provision of health services,
preventative healthcare, and community partnerships, this program has a
significant positive impact on students, families, and team members,
especially in regards to providing COVID-19 information and on-site
testing for prevention of spread. Best-loved, this program features a
certified therapy dog named Fenway who works directly with children to
provide support and relieve stress with measurable beneficial outcomes
including improved test scores and school attendance.
