Niños Bien Educados
This parenting skill building program was developed especially for Spanish-speaking and Spanish-origin parents.  It is respectful of the unique traditions and customs of Hispanic families and it is sensitive to the variety of adjustments that are made as Hispanic families acculturate to life in the United States. 
 
The combination of Niños Bien Educados (NBE) and the Segundo Paso (Second Step) violence prevention program for children provides Latino families with a community-based bilingual and culturally sensitive program to strengthen families, enhance parenting and children’s social skills. Niños Bien Educados not only provides parent education and child abuse prevention but serves as an acculturation and assimilation tool for immigrant parents in the U.S. 
 
The program is designed to be taught in Spanish and each course consists of 12 two-hour sessions. The NBE program is most appropriate for adult parents of preschool and elementary school-age children. The program has two instructors to cover the adult and children’s components of the program. To ensure parent attendance and the overall success of the program, the LACC has also offered baby-sitting services during each session.

Parent Aid Services
Parent Aid Services are home-based services geared to focus on client needs that are identified jointly by DSCYF and the LACC. The Parent Aide provides a continuum of support services to help families resolve issues which place children at risk of harm and neglect. The intention of this program is to provide intervention services thereby preventing families from needing deeper-end-services.
