The Soho Center develops quality training materials (long-form videos, newsletters, and resource directories) to improve the quality of child care and after-school care and to promote school readiness and school success. The Soho Center's training efforts are designed to provide information on child development, health, safety, nutrition, literacy, and learning activities. The Soho Center also distributes copies of its family child care-related DVD to public libraries, universities, child care associations, and child care-related agencies. Finally, the Soho Center distributes free brochures on children's injury prevention, discipline and limit-setting, nutrition, age-appropriate learning activities, children's literacy, and health. The Soho Center also distributes children's clothing and toys to low-income children in Head Start programs and to low-income family child care providers and families.

The Soho Center also provides free support services and information to child care-related organizations which work with low-income providers and parents. |

In addition, the Soho Center has created a media facility to cost-effectively support outreach and training efforts, arts and education projects, and non-profits serving low-income families in health, education, and other needed services.
