Help For My Children
“I need help for my children.”
HomeFront is committed to helping children reach their full potential to succeed socially and academically. We have a wide range of children’s programs, all are free, plus we provide transportation, meals and essentials. We even have programming uniquely designed for children who have faced rough times as we try to add a little bit of magic in their lives.
After School & Weekend Programs
Children (in elementary school through high school) in our Joy, Hopes and Dreams Program participate in regular tutoring, art, music and coding classes, recreational sports and year-round field trips. This is truly a program filled with magic whether in person or virtual. It is geared for families who currently are, or previously were, involved in HomeFront’s housing programs. We have a highly experienced, caring staff who create joy, hopes and dreams for every child who participates.

Summer - Camp Mercer
HomeFront hosts Camp Mercer in July and August at the Lawrence Community Center for children age 5-14. Days filled with swimming lessons, art, sports, field trips, bar-b-ques and daily academic enrichment from experienced staff provides your child a summer to grow and remember. Transportation and meals are provided. A sliding fee scale is provided.

Day Care & PreSchool
Located at HomeFront’s Family Campus in Ewing at 101 Celia Way, our Atkinson Child Development Center provides high quality developmental care for children age 0-5 years old (pre-kindergarten years). We are open five days a week, from 7 a.m. till 6 p.m. This program is primarily for children whose parents are already enrolled in HomeFront’s housing or Hire Expectations programs. On occasion, there might be an opening for other children.
