A Child’s Haven gets 3M Foundation support

3M Foundation has awarded more than $41,000 to A Child’s Haven for two initiatives — adopting the Incredible Years early childhood curriculum and adding 13 designated individual therapy spaces to the campus.

A Child’s Haven received $16,089 to help fund the change to the new curriculum, which will be integrated into the current Therapeutic Child Care Treatment program. Incredible Years programs promote emotional, social and academic competence while preventing, reducing and treating behavioral and emotional problems in young children, according to a news release.

3M Foundation awarded $25,000 to A Child’s Haven to support the expansion effort, which is estimated to cost $650,000. The facility is being renovated to accommodate both the individual behavioral health needs of clients while optimizing use of current space to support the infant early childhood mental health needs of families in the Berea/Traveler’s Rest area, the release said.
