PLANNED PROGRAM · GOODE FATHERHOOD

Goode Kidz

Room for little ones to learn and grow.

A proposed children’s companion program designed to make family participation easier through creative play, educational activities, and a welcoming space during adult programs.

In development

A clear picture of what’s next.

The concept proposes activities for ages 2–12. Parents and guardians register interest on children’s behalf; children do not create accounts.

Program enrollment, dates, staffing, fees, and service availability are not confirmed. These are proposed offerings, not currently bookable services.

THE PROGRAM VISION

What this pathway brings together.

Supervised care concept

Childcare is proposed, not confirmed. Staffing, screening, ratios, licensing requirements, and safeguarding must be established first.

Creative & educational play

Proposed art, building, reading, and imaginative activities adapted to age and access needs.

Snacks & comfort

The concept includes snacks and a nurturing environment. Food arrangements, allergy procedures, hours, and costs remain unconfirmed.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PATHWAY

Explore care models before choosing a building.

Goode Kidz is a family-support concept in feasibility planning. It is not currently an operating daycare, community center, afterschool provider, respite program, or foster-care agency.

Possible modelWhat must be established first
Partnered care during adult programsQualified care partner, supervision, safeguarding, accessible space, and clear responsibilities.
Daytime early-childhood careLicensing review, demand study, staffing and ratios, facilities, insurance, and a sustainable operating budget.
Afterschool enrichmentAge-appropriate supervision, school partnerships, transport arrangements, access supports, and applicable licensing requirements.
Long-term respite partnershipQualified provider relationships, individual eligibility and authorization, suitable staffing and care plans; separate from ordinary childcare.
Childcare funding and 1915(i): separate questions

Childcare subsidy participation depends on family eligibility and provider approval. Funds pay for authorized care under program rules; they are not unrestricted money to fund other services. Any reinvestment or shared costs must follow funder, licensing, and accounting requirements.

NC Medicaid 1915(i) includes services such as respite for eligible people. Eligibility and the particular service depend on assessment, coverage policy, and the person’s plan. It is not automatic childcare coverage. Goode Fatherhood is not advertising itself as an enrolled respite provider.

Therapeutic foster care: a distinct long-term feasibility question

This is not an extension of daycare or a service currently offered. It requires a separate clinical, licensing, accreditation, staffing, and contracting assessment. The first step would be expert consultation and partnership exploration, not accepting placements.

A MOMENT TO PRACTICE

Finding a doctor together

Your child needs a regular healthcare provider, and you want to be an informed part of their care.

TRY SOMETHING TOGETHER

Small practices.
Meaningful connection.

Self-guided education you can try now, separate from future facilitated services. Adapt to your child’s development, access needs, and comfort. An adult stays involved.

Suggested activities are not clinical treatment, legal advice, or confirmed program sessions.

Ages 2–5

Build a pretend neighborhood

  1. Use large age-appropriate blocks or draw buildings on paper.
  2. Let the child choose who lives or works there.
  3. Practice asking, sharing, and taking turns with an adult nearby.
