Young Roots Oregon is dedicated to creatively helping young families build healthy foundations

Respite Care

The purpose of Respite Care is to support the mental and emotional wellbeing of young parents and their children. As parents, we all need a break and an encouraging space to be restored and accomplish our goals.

Respite care provides childcare to the children of young parents. Developmentally nurturing childcare is provided by the KidRoots Children’s Program who are highly qualified and follow the State of Oregon Early Learning Division’s best practices.

Parents are mandated to stay on-site as KidRoots is not a licensed daycare. The Family Hub provides comfortable and private meeting spaces, social support, wifi, snacks and phone access for parents to rest and accomplish their goals.

Examples of how young parents can use their Respite Care time:

  • Education – education and credit recovery support for secondary and postsecondary achievement!
  • Access – make those calls, do that paperwork, and access resources that are hard to get done while caring for your children.
  • Self Care – relax and rest! Do something for yourself that you enjoy to recharge your parenting battery.

To access this resource, please give us a call at the Family Hub to make a reservation!
