Great Day Family Connections Great Day Family Connections, Inc., is a nonprofit family enrichment organization that provides events, activities and educational workshops with accessible communication to all families, especially those with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. We believe that families should be engaged in the academic, emotional and social development of their children. Parents are the most influential individuals in the life of a child and life-long memories are made from activities that engage all members as a unit. teachers. The program engages the entire family. Yes, children too! Topics may include: teaching children to be financially savvy, teaching a baby to communicate before he or she begins to talk and becoming a business owner.
Great Day Family Connections believes in families learning, teaching and connecting to the community together. We do not provide childcare or programs that separate children from the care of their parents or guardians.

The goal is to bridge the communication gaps among individuals who are deaf or hardof-hearing or who speak foreign languages. There is absolutely no talking from participants or vendors. Language is an Art: This program will be introduced in early 2019. Its goal will be to help individuals learn English or to improve their skills in speaking English through various ways, such as music, movies, sports and shopping.
