Child Month - “See Me. Hear Me.”

The Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS) invites the public to participate in Child Month 2026 activities taking place throughout May across our island’s under this year’s theme: “See Me. Hear Me.”

This year’s theme encourages the community to pay closer attention to the needs, voices, and wellbeing of children and young people, while reinforcing the shared responsibility to support and protect them.

The month-long calendar includes church services, youth workshops, family fun days, media appearances, and community events designed to celebrate children, strengthen families, and promote child wellbeing across the Cayman Islands.

Upcoming Child Month events include:

• Tea Party – 16 May | 1:30PM (If interested, please call or whats app)

• Early Childhood Extravaganza at GT New Testament Church – 17 May | 3:00PM–4:20PM

• Circle of Love Breakfast  – 23 May | 8:30AM (If interested, please call or whats app)

Director of DCFS, Ms. Paulinda Mendoza-Williams, shared: “Child Month is an opportunity for all of us to be more intentional about listening to, uplifting and supporting our children, while strengthening the families and communities around them. Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, safe, and valued.”

DCFS encourages parents, schools, churches, businesses, community organisations, and the wider public to come out and support Child Month events and initiatives throughout the rest of the month of May.

Together, we can help ensure every child is seen, heard, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
