Car Seat Safety

Do you think it might be time to transition your child to the next car seat?

Do you need assistance in accessing a car seat?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then stop by the GES JCELH anytime between 12 noon and 3 pm on the third Wednesday of any month. There will be a local certified passenger child safety technician available to meet and talk about your concerns. A car seat check can be scheduled and interpretation is available upon request.

We invite families with children 0-5 years of age to our Early Childhood Resource Night!

Community resources such as the Early Learning Readiness program at the YMCA and story times at the library will be available to learn more about.

The Greensboro Judy Center is here and ready to increase school readiness by providing comprehensive early learning and family support services to children prenatal through five years old and their families within the catchment area. We focus on the child's first and most important teacher, their families, by using a multi-generational, strengths-based approach.
