Community Statement
The Family Success Center stands in strong solidarity with Somali childcare providers during this difficult and unsettling time. We recognize the fear, stress, and emotional toll that many providers and families are experiencing as a result of recent events, harassment, and uncertainty. Please know that you are not alone. Support is available, and FSC is here with you.
FSC is committed to protecting, empowering, and informing childcare providers by ensuring access to accurate information, trusted guidance, and safe spaces where providers can ask questions, share concerns, and seek help without fear.

-
Understand their legal rights and protections

Learn how to respond to harassment or intimidation

Ask questions in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment

We provide equitable, culturally responsive programs that uplift children, youth, families, and childcare providers through education, early learning, and community connection.
