Millhill Child & Family Development Center Promotes Development of the Entire Family Trenton Daily
For the past 45 years, families in Trenton have been able to turn to Millhill Child & Family Development Center to promote positive development for every family member. In fact, every year over 5,000 individuals are served directly through Millhill’s various services.
Located at 101 Oakland Street and 802 Prospect Street (both locations are around the corner from one another), Millhill offers families and individuals access to education, counseling, youth leadership, parenting, and family services. Starting at two and a half years old, a family can be introduced to Millhill by enrolling in their preschool program. Students and families are welcomed by a longstanding staff with members that have been there for several years as the program boasts a very low employee turnover. “Once they are in, families trust us and keep coming back.” said Executive Director Cynthia Oberkofler as she points how some parents who once attended the preschool now enroll their children. Additionally, this initial connection can lead to introduction of other services for more family members.
