Bright Futures Start with Comprehensive Care

Bright Futures Start Here
At Penfield Children’s Center, we make every effort to create brighter futures for the children
and families we serve. By working with children early in their development, Penfield improves
their potential for future health, social and educational gains. Through support, encouragement and
practical assistance, Penfield families and children gain skills and knowledge that help them grow.
Penfield’s programs and services were specifically designed to advance the physical, cognitive and
emotional development of children. We offer these services when children are very young – during
the period of brain development when we can make the greatest impact. Our ultimate goal is to
ensure better outcomes for children in Milwaukee who otherwise may not have the opportunity
for a positive start in life.
During the past year, we have reflected on the agency’s rich history and how it continues to impact
the work we do today. Penfield Children’s Center traces its roots to the Via Marsi Montessori
School, which educated children, with and without disabilities, using a Montessori-based approach
to learning. The goal of the school’s staff was to prepare children, ages 3 through 6, for success in
school and in life. That singular focus remains to this day.
Our 2013 Annual Report details the many ways Penfield helps children achieve brighter futures.
During the last year, children with developmental delays, physical disabilities and medical challenges
made significant progress toward their individual goals due to the highly effective services and
specialized care our staff provide. The Annual Report also highlights the developmental and
intellectual growth of four remarkable children who personify the 1,798 children we served during
2013.
Research continues to illustrate the profound impact early intervention services can have on
children during their critical years of growth and development. Penfield’s unique approach
promotes increased school-readiness, reduced high-risk behaviors, as well as improved educational,
health and social outcomes. Our agency continues to espouse Dr. Penfield’s belief that you should
“never underestimate the capacity of the very young, and never, never let them down.”
“Never
underestimate
the capacity of
the very young,
and never, never
let them down.”
– Dr. Penfield
Bright futures do start here. Thank you for all you do to ensure healthy outcomes, developmental
growth and the success of the children and families Penfield serves. We couldn’t do it without you.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Mikulay
Chairman, Board of Directors

Bright Futures Start
with Comprehensive Care:
Special Care Nursery
Henry
Penfield Children’s Center provides services for children of all abilities at an early age when brain
development is most crucial. Our programs address a wide variety of needs in a nurturing environment,
ensuring that all the children we serve experience healthy development and reach their full potential.
Birth-to-Three
During 2013, Penfield’s Birthto-Three program served
1,090 children, including
Mario. More than 99 percent
of the children served made
progress in achieving their
short-term developmental
goals. In addition, more than
99 percent of parents reported
a better understanding of
their children’s needs after
participating in the Birth-toThree program.
Our Birth-to-Three program provides
speech, occupational and physical therapy,
special education and service coordination
for children from 6-weeks-old to age 3 with
developmental delays and disabilities who
are at least 25 percent behind their typicallydeveloping peers. Infancy to age 3 is a critical
time for brain development; and children who
receive early education services have a better
chance of reaching developmental milestones,
making social and emotional gains, and
performing well in school.
Mario
Mario has arthrogryposis, a rare congenital
disorder characterized by joint contractures
that prevent him from bending his arms and
legs. When he came to Penfield’s Birth-toThree program, he was unable to do much
more than lie on his back due to significant
joint deformity.
Born prematurely with a heart defect, Henry’s
heart failed shortly after birth. He spent the
first few months of his life in the hospital after
undergoing two heart surgeries. As a result
of his extended hospital stay and mounting
medical issues, Henry experienced significant
cognitive delays and was not reaching appropriate developmental milestones for a child
his age. During this time, Henry was placed
in foster care. Henry’s foster mother knew
about Penfield through her work as a nurse
for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Urgently
in need of specialized and skilled medical care,
Henry came to the Special Care Nursery
shortly after leaving the hospital.
better with his peers, and move around by
“scooting” on his bottom. Because he cannot
use his hands, he’s learning to perform
everyday tasks, ranging from taking off his
socks to stacking blocks and painting, with
his feet. And, with the help of a specialized
piece of equipment called a gait trainer, Mario
is able to stand up and walk on his own. His
tremendous progress and tenacious spirit are
truly inspirational.
With comprehensive support from Penfield’s
Birth-to-Three program, Mario has quickly
learned that there really is nothing he can’t do.
Penfield’s Special Care Nursery offers skilled
nursing care, respite and hospice care, special
education, therapeutic services and a unique
medical day care service for children from
birth to age 5 with profound health issues and
developmental delays. The Nursery provides
a nurturing environment where children with
medically-complex needs can play, learn, thrive
and work toward a brighter future regardless
of diagnoses. Additionally, parents are given
the support necessary to best meet their children’s medical and developmental needs.
Penfield’s Special Care
Nursery served 60 children,
including Henry, during
2013. After receiving
treatment in the Nursery,
21 children transitioned
to appropriate learning
environments, including
Penfield’s Early Education
and Care and Special
Education classrooms, as
well as Milwaukee Public
Schools.
In the Nursery, he immediately started occupational, physical and speech therapy. In the
short time he’s spent at Penfield, his intellectual aptitude and developmental growth have
skyrocketed. Recently adopted by his foster
parents, Henry’s mother trusts the dedicated
staff who care for him each week. “Henry
is not a typically-developing child and would
get lost in a regular day care program,” says
his mother. “The staff interacts with him and
makes sure he gets the attention he needs to
continue to grow. That’s what makes Penfield
unique.”
Extensive work with caring occupational,
physical and speech therapists has helped
him build tremendous strength, communicate

During 2013, the Early
Education and Care
program served 165
children, including Oliver.
The program promotes
bright futures by providing
comprehensive early
education programming for
all children, regardless of
their developmental level or
household income.
Behavior Clinic
Early Education and Care
The Early Education and Care program at
Penfield provides a supportive, early learning
environment where children of all abilities play
and learn together. Accredited by the National
Association for the Education of Young Children
(NAEYC), the program helps children prepare
for kindergarten by promoting social, emotional,
cognitive, physical, language and behavioral
development. Penfield also maintains a five-star
rating from YoungStar, the program developed
by the State of Wisconsin to improve care for
children.
fun and educational. He uses his imagination
to make creative art projects. He’s learning
numbers and letters and has reading time with
his teachers every day. He spends time on the
playground laughing with his friends, some
of whom have special needs, but still share
the same inclusive classroom. At 3-years-old,
Oliver is already preparing for school and a
future full of exciting possibilities.
The Early Education and Care program has
also been extremely helpful for Oliver’s
mother. She relies on Penfield’s transportation
to bring Oliver to and from the center every

In partnership with Marquette University,
Penfield’s Behavior Clinic is the only counseling
service in Milwaukee that serves children
younger than 6 with behavioral or emotional
problems. Completely home-based, counselors
work with children and parents to teach
effective strategies to improve behavior and
effectively support mental health.The Behavior
Clinic also trains graduate students and staff
in the best practices for treating children
and infants with mental health issues. The
Clinic’s research is featured in dissertations,
presentations and articles that emphasize
the importance of addressing mental health
concerns as early as possible
Ava
As a small child, Ava was very demanding.
She lived with her parents and other adult
family members, so establishing structure in
the home was difficult. She was jealous of the
attention her siblings received and her parents
struggled with disciplining her. She would
throw fits in the middle of stores, run away
and talk back if she did not get her way. As
she got older, her behavior worsened to the
point where she ignored every request that
was asked of her. Ava was rarely cooperative
and she seemed angry all the time. Eventually,
Ava’s doctor recommended that her parents
take her to the Behavior Clinic at Penfield
Children’s Center.
After working with the Behavior Clinic’s
counselors, Ava’s parents noticed a profound
change. Through her sessions, she became
more direct with her thoughts and feelings,
as well as more confident in herself. She is
now calmer and thinks about her actions as a
big sister and role model. Ava knows she has
to listen to and respect her parents, and has
settled into a healthy routine with them. Ava’s
parents are grateful for the treatments Penfield
provided, and now have greater patience and
understanding with all of their children.
During 2013, the Behavior
Clinic provided mental
health counseling and
therapy for 483 children
with significant mental
health issues, an increase
of 44 percent compared to
2012. In total, counselors
made 2,374 visits to homes
like Ava’s. By helping
children with behavioral
issues become welladjusted and prepare for
school, the Behavior Clinic
is establishing a bright
future for them.

In 2013, Penfield provided
outpatient services for
children recovering from
surgery, accidents and
injuries, as well as children
who weren’t eligible for
school-based services.
During 2013, Penfield
offered 64 family events and
programs, including parent
education workshops, family
celebrations, parent support
groups, parent mentoring
and school transition
services. The combined
attendance for all events was
3,307 children and family
members.
Kohl’s Building Blocks Program
Outpatient Therapy
Penfield provides outpatient speech,
occupational and physical therapy services
for children age 4 and older to supplement
services they receive in school. These services
help children beyond our Birth-to-Three
program and aid in recovery from surgery or
injuries. Therapy sessions take place before
and after school, even during the lunch hour,
to accommodate school and family schedules.
Through the programs’ outreach and online resources, Penfield is able to provide
therapeutic and educational items families can use at home, as well as educational toolkits
that promote hands-on learning for parents, professionals and children.
The programs and services available through
the Kohl’s Building Blocks Program include:
Family Se rvices
Penfield recognizes that in order for children
to have success in the future, they need strong
support from their parents and caregivers.
All parents and families are encouraged
to participate in the family programs that
Penfield offers, which include educational
workshops, support groups, early literacy
events and family celebrations. In addition
to workshops and events, Penfield provides
school-transition support to help parents find
the best option for their children’s education
after they graduate from Penfield.
Penfield’s Parent Mentors work with Englishand Spanish-speaking families to provide
encouragement and support for those raising
children with special needs. Their guidance
helps improve the quality of care provided for
children and strengthens communication and
trust between staff and families.

A New Medical Daycare
Opens in the Special
Care Nursery
Penfield established a licensed medical daycare
program in the Special Care Nursery during
March 2013. This unique service provides child
care for children birth to age 5 with profound
medical needs. Staff include an early childhood
education teacher, certified nursing assistants
and registered nurses.
2013 Highlights
Kohl’s Continues Partnership with Penfield
In early 2013, Kohl’s Cares announced the continuation of its partnership with Penfield, generously
donating more than $4 million over the next five years to support and expand the Kohl’s Building
Blocks Program. “Kohl’s tremendous gift of more than $4 million is a giant step in our longstanding partnership and collective commitment to the Milwaukee community,” said Christine
Holmes, president and CEO of Penfield. “We are honored to be partnering with Kohl’s to further
develop these vital programs.”
The additional funding allowed Penfield to expand the program to include bilingual care services,
develop a new community outreach program and create www.PenfieldBuildingBlocks.org,
an online resource that provides helpful how-to articles, advice and videos for families,
professionals and educators.
Penfield Community Garden
8
During spring 2013, Penfield staff planted two garden beds outside the center’s main entrance
using seeds and plants provided by employees from all departments. The garden provides
children with a positive educational experience, allowing them to learn about planting and
growing their own food. Classrooms took turns tending the garden and harvesting vegetables
like cucumbers, tomatoes and radishes. This project introduced a variety of healthy foods
to children and helped everyone at Penfield learn about the benefits of healthy eating.
Head Start Begins
at Penfield
Penfield opened two new classrooms in
November 2013 for Head Start, a free
educational program for 3- and 4-year-olds
that promotes school readiness skills. Penfield
hosts the program through a partnership with
Acelero Learning, a New York-based firm that
operates Head Start programs in three other
states. Research in early childhood education
continues to indicate that early intervention
services are most effective when administered
through age 8. Offering Head Start at Penfield
is an essential step in meeting the educational
needs of children beyond the Birth-to-Three
program. Additional Highlights
• Penfield’s President and CEO, Christine
Holmes, attended Harvard Business
School’s “Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit
Management” program during July 2013.
She was one of 150 nonprofit leaders from
all over the world invited to study and
discuss best practices for successful nonprofit
organizations.
• In December 2013, Penfield’s Behavior Clinic
received a $75,000 grant from the Hearst
Foundations. The grant marks the first time
the Clinic has received funding from a national
foundation.
• During 2013, Penfield made its first attempts
at crowdfunding with two campaigns posted
on Indiegogo.com. Both campaigns were
successful and raised enough money for the
agency to purchase two Bye Bye Buggies,
large durable strollers that seat six children,
and an “Up n’ Go” Gait Trainer for our therapy
department.
