Resources For Families
Imagine if all parents had
The information and support they need
Do you ever wonder what your child will be like in the future? We now know that the experiences and opportunities that children have in their earliest years shape the ways they will grow and thrive as they move through school-age and into adulthood. Four aspects of early childhood are especially important to growth and development: health, mental health, early care and education, and parent support.
Parent and Family Support
Parents and family form a child’s first relationships. They are a child’s first teachers and act as role models in how to act and how to experience the world around them. By nurturing and teaching children during their early years, families play an important role in making sure children are ready to learn when they enter school. Children thrive when parents are able to actively promote their positive growth and development. Every parent knows that it’s sometimes difficult to do this important work without help, support, and additional resources.
Whether you need assistance with health care, food, housing, counseling, or other services, ECCLPS is here to help!
