We are excited to announce that Kinberlyn Polanco recently obtained
her Social Work License.
Kinberlyn started working at  EOA Children's House  as an intern. After graduating with a degree in Social Work from the  University of Arkansas  she was hired full-time last August as a Family Advocate. Kinberlyn believes that "in order to help our children change, we have to help them heal" and she loves having the "opportunity to empower families to succeed."
Congratulations, Kinberlyn!


Learning About Neighborhoods
Our PreK kiddos are currently learning about community responsibility, jobs, and working together. One of the classrooms at the Pat Walker Center for Children set up a vet clinic in their dramatic play and not only did they have fun, they also worked on writing skills, learned about health and body systems, how to use charts and find patterns, as well as how to take care of other living things.



Arkansas Kids Count Day
EOA Executive Director, Delia Anderson Farmer (pictured right) represented EOA at the state capitol for Kids Count Day on January 30th. Child advocates were in attendance from all over the state to discuss sound public policy solutions to challenges children face in Arkansas.
