Fact Sheet: A Two-Generation Approach
While Sheltering Arms has long supported families by offering affordable, high-quality education and care to children, we’ve also embraced a higher standard: a two-generation approach, a responsive philosophy and an intentional practice of serving children and the adults in their lives simultaneously.
Fact Sheet: Sheltering Arms
In 1888, a group of concerned Atlanta women began Sheltering Arms’ first “center”—initially a safe space for the children of textile workers while their parents toiled in the mills. Today, we provide more than 3,600 children and their families with world-class early childhood education and family support services each year.
