We are honored to announce that Penfield Children's Center has been selected as one of six local nonprofits to benefit from this year's TMJ4 News Community Baby Shower. In partnership with WaterStone Bank, this initiative encourages community members to donate essential baby items throughout January to support families in Milwaukee County. Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting Susan Kim for a visit, where she learned more about the impactful work of our prenatal support program, Growing Together.

In today's ✨Mission Moments✨ we meet Rose! Rose, a sweet 2 1/2-year-old, loves coloring, puzzles, and all things Paw Patrol. However, as of March this year, Rose wasn't speaking at all. Since beginning her journey with our Speech Language Pathologist, Rachel, in our Birth to 3 Program, she has made incredible strides. Now, Rose has a vocabulary of over 50 words and is already starting to put two words together. Previously relying on gestures for communication, she now calls "momma" to get her mother's attention and confidently identifies various colors, foods, and beloved Paw Patrol characters! Rose is blooming, and we are thrilled to be part of her amazing journey.
