Early Childhood is So Important
Raising a healthy, happy child is so important, but it’s no easy task. Just ask anyone who’s doing it. While many families have a lot of support, other may need help in developing healthy child-parent relationships. These relationships will lead to better physical health, emotional development and a reduction in the chances for abuse or neglect.
“There is no greater insight into the future than recognizing when we save our children, we save ourselves”

Home Visiting
Home Visiting is a proven strategy to help parents be their child’s first and best teachers so that they can arrive at school healthy, prepared to learn and be successful in life. More than 85% of a child’s brain is developed by the time they begin kindergarten and we don’t get a “do-over.”
