Wide Horizons For Children, Inc., was founded in 1974 and is dedicated to the physical and social welfare of children everywhere and to the belief that each child should be given the opportunity to have a loving home. In addition to finding homes for children through adoption, WHFC is committed to providing humanitarian aid to benefit children around the world, particularly those who are waiting for a family and those who may never be adopted.

The Guilford Center for Children provides year-round education for children of working parents from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We involve children in independent and collaborative tasks that help them reach their intellectual, creative, moral, and physical potential while working cooperatively with others. We nurture the curiosity and thirst for knowledge inherent in all young children. Our curriculum is designed to allow our students to gain confidence in their personal strength, an awareness of their individual gifts, and the desire to share their joy with others, both in and outside the classroom. We believe every child needs and deserves a safe, secure, and stimulating environment. We believe this desired environment begins with a positive, nurturing relationship between child and teacher. We believe that quality child care and early childhood development includes communicating and working with the family through education, support and parent involvement. Our curriculum is based on the whole child: his/her social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative development. We see each child as a unique individual and plan our programs according to the child’s strengths, needs, interests and developmental skills. We believe in fostering cultural awareness and pride through anti-bias curriculum and activities. We strive to keep our services available and affordable to all families. Our mission is to continue to create an enhanced, quality early and primary education program that emphasizes the arts and cultural experiences. We aim to encourage curiosity, promote kindness and respect, and foster interaction with and in support of our community.

An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.
