Mandatory Core Services:
supporting early learning and development,
engaging parents and caregivers, and
making connections for families.
“Families are composed of individuals who are competent and capable, curious, and rich in experience. Families love their children and want the best for them. Families are experts on their children. They are the first and most powerful influence on children’s learning, development, health, and well-being. Families bring diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. Families should feel that they belong, are
valuable contributors to their children’s learning, and deserve to be engaged in a meaningful way.”
