Center for Children and Families

Strong Families. Thriving Children. Stronger Communities.

Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and every parent deserves support along the way.

The Center for Children and Families at UT Dallas strengthens children, parents, and caregivers through evidence-based programs that promote healthy development, school readiness, and family well-being. By combining research, education, and direct services, we help families build the skills and confidence they need to thrive.

Our programs support families with young children through parent education, developmental screening, early learning opportunities, and individualized guidance. Whether a parent is looking for ways to strengthen communication with their child, support early literacy, or better understand their child's development, the Center provides trusted resources and support.

Programs such as Play With Me and Grow With Me help parents nurture their children's language, social-emotional, and cognitive development through meaningful everyday interactions. Through community partnerships and innovative programming, we work to ensure families have access to resources that promote lifelong success.

When families are supported, children are more prepared to succeed in school, develop healthy relationships, and build strong foundations for the future. Your generosity makes that possible.
