Child care is available at Marana High School for the children of TAPP students. Children ages 2 weeks to age 4 are enrolled in the nursery which provides developmentally appropriate activities and toys. This licensed facility enrolls up to 13 infants as well as 27 toddlers and preschoolers. It is staffed by 3.5 FTE s. TAPP parents, as well as other vocational students, also work in the center.
Case management is the last component.
The specific needs of each student are identified as well as a plan of service. Our parent educator serves the role of case manager linking students to the agencies and serving as an advocate. In each component we stress goal setting, self reliance and education. Our teen parents have formed a Teenage Parent Panel which speaks to students and interested community groups. TAPP students are eager to spread the message that completing your education should come before parenting.
