Family Unity

At Whatcom Center for Early Learning, we believe that every child deserves a stable and supportive family environment to thrive. Family unity is crucial to the well-being and development of children, and we are deeply concerned about the harmful impacts of current immigration policies on young ones. 

These policies, which may result in family separation, have long-lasting consequences on children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development. Research shows that trauma caused by family separation dramatically increases the risk of developmental delays, emotional distress, and other lifelong challenges. 

When families are kept together, children have the consistent care and emotional support they need to thrive. 

Our goal is to ensure that every child receives the care and resources necessary for their development.

How You Can Take Action: 

• Help raise awareness by sharing resources about immigrant rights, including information on how families can protect themselves.

• Educate others on the impact of family separation and the importance of keeping families together.

• Attend community meetings and town halls that discuss immigration policy

• Get involved with local advocacy efforts that aim to protect immigrant rights and keep families united.

We are all in this together, and by taking action, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families who need it most. 

Whatcom Center for Early Learning stands firm in its commitment to family unity. We will continue to advocate for policies that protect children and their families, and work to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive in a loving and supportive environment.
