Collaborative for Children’s home visitation program provides the knowledge, skills, support, and resources needed to strengthen the child-family relationship. Specialists work with pregnant women and families with kids under age 4, presenting educational activities and free services designed to start children on the right path to learning.
Having a real, long-term positive impact on a child’s life requires the initiative, focus, and engagement of the entire community. Early childhood education succeeds because of a shared belief that all kids matter and deserve access to resources that will help them thrive in the workplace of tomorrow and become outstanding citizens.
Barely a day passes that young children don’t learn something from their parents, family members, or caregivers. To make that process even more beneficial, we offer activity cards that can be easily downloaded for family time at home and recommend other ways to start creating wonder in kids.
