Teenage Parent Program
The Teen Parent Program (TPP) is a voluntary program
offered by the District to provide education, childcare
and access to health and social services for pregnant and
parenting teens. Students who are pregnant, as well as
teen mothers and fathers, are supported in becoming
responsible parents and completing requirements for
graduation. While in the program, students receive
support services such as child care, health care, social
services, parenting education and transportation.
Participants in TPP must take at least one parenting
skills course while continuing to earn credits toward a
standard or special diploma. Palm Beach Virtual High
School also offers the Parenting Skills course. Students
who have completed the parenting course continue
to receive support services while enrolled in their high
school diploma program.
In FY21, TPP served a total of 198 students, 7 middle
school and a 191 high school age. Child care services
were provided for 29 children of TPP participants.
The School District of Palm Beach County and the
Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County work
together to assist students who need childcare through
the District’s TPP and after graduation through local
funding.
The Teenage Parent Program works directly with Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Palm Beach County
to assist pregnant and parenting students in accessing a variety of programs through Healthy Beginnings to
support a healthy pregnancy and healthy birth.
