WHAT IS HAPPY 5?
Happy 5, one of ICAN’s Early Childhood Programs, assists parents in understanding cultural differences (Vietnamese-American) in the process of raising children to promote the healthy development of children (from 0 to 5 years old).
WHO WE SERVE
Happy 5 is a public education program geared towards Vietnamese parents, grandparents and care providers in our community focused on positive parenting through the lens of child development in the first five years.
WHAT WE DO
Happy 5 is a 6-week program that promotes discussion on cultural differences, and highlights situations considered child abuse/neglect in America in regard to these topics: Brain Development, Language Development, Basic Care & Hygiene, Self-Esteem, Nutrition, Music Movements, and Arts & Crafts.
WHY IT MATTERS
Our innovative curriculum combines both Vietnamese and American perspectives, encourages participants to bridge the cultural gaps, and empowers parents to adopt safer, more appropriate parenting techniques.
