Focus Areas
- Children are Healthy and Safe: Early preventative health and education prepares a family to develop nurturing and healthy habits which are enhanced by coordination with community partners including healthcare systems and primary care providers.
- Children are Developmentally on Track: Early Identification of developmental needs for children birth to age five is essential for optimizing a child’s potential and serves as an opportunity for caregivers to learn more about their child’s current developmental functioning.
- Children are Ready to Learn and Succeed: School readiness services for young children should be designed in a way that foster a nurturing, safe and healthy environment for children and respects a family’s cultural values. In addition, quality early learning must also promote early caregiver involvement and professional development for early care educators. School success works best in collaboration with teachers, administrators, and parents to provide support consistent with developmental or grade level benchmarks. Successful services support leadership development, provides positive role modeling, and motivates students to learn in safe environments.
- Family Support: Support for the whole family is essential for developing informal supports, stability, and overall well-being. Family Support plays an important role in a young child’s brain development because early experiences develop through positive relationships which establishes the foundation for secure attachments and future physical, cognitive, and socialemotional health.
