WORK TOWARD SUSTAINABLE AND COORDINATED SYSTEMS THAT PROMOTE THE WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN PRENATAL TO AGE FIVE.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Effective, ongoing collaboration between early childhood community-based partners strengthens assessment and decision-making, increases understanding of families’ needs, promotes communication and information sharing across systems, and provides better overall support for children and families.
Bringing individuals, agencies, and community members together in an atmosphere of support can systematically solve existing and emerging problems that one group could not quickly solve alone. Madera County has a positive track record of establishing and maintaining collaborative relationships.
Cooperation among agencies leads to improved systems planning and reduces the potential for duplication of services.
