Community Family Development

We were honored to attend the Champions Against Child Abuse event hosted by CPCA, joining community leaders, advocates, and partners who are dedicated to protecting children and strengthening families.

The evening served as a powerful reminder that preventing child abuse is a shared responsibility. Through collaboration, education, and support, we can create safer, healthier communities where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you to CPCA for bringing together so many passionate champions and for your continued commitment to child abuse prevention and family well-being. We are proud to stand alongside organizations and individuals working to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.

💙 Together, we can build a future where every child is safe, supported, and empowered.

Today we are proud to recognize Ms. Kagal, nominated for Staff Member of the Year!

With decades of experience, compassion, and dedication, Ms. Kagal has touched the lives of countless children and families through her nurturing spirit and commitment to early childhood education.

One heartfelt nomination shared:

“Ms. Kagal fosters growth, development, speech, and love. She has made a tremendous impact in my son’s life.”

Families and staff describe her as wise, gentle, patient, and deeply caring — someone who creates a safe and loving environment where children can truly thrive. 🌱

Thank you, Ms. Kagal, for the joy, knowledge, and kindness you bring to Community Family Development each and every day. Your impact is immeasurable!

Every month, Ms. Sabrina from Mid-Hudson Music Together brings joyful, interactive music experiences that encourage children to learn through play, movement, and meaningful connection. Classes include singing, dancing, rhythm activities, instrument play, and musical experiences from many cultures and styles, helping children develop a lifelong love of music while supporting all areas of development.

At CFD, we believe enrichment opportunities like music, sensory experiences, science, art, and movement help create a well-rounded early learning environment where every child can grow, explore, and thrive. 💛🎵
