About Us
We are a group of program providers who have come together because we share common goals:

1. To improve the skill and commitment to parenting among parent and primary care givers of children aged 0 to 5 years.

2. To enhance the nutritional knowledge and practices of parents and primary caregivers of children, those not yet born to 5 years of age.

3. To increase opportunities for and accessibility of adult literacy and family literacy, particularly for those families with children under 6 years of age.

4. To use methods by which individuals, institutions, and parents develop a voice, a sense of efficacy, and a commitment to the continuous improvement of the community in which children spend the critical first five years.

The Web of Best Practices
We have called our programs "The Web of Best Practices."

Our programs are intended to be dynamic, in that objectives of each are complementary to and supportive of the others, therefore, a "web" of practices. The overall effect will be to contribute in a unique way to the development of a healthy child through a process that requires commitment and collaboration-building blocks of capacity and sustainability.

The Web of Best Practices programs are intended to begin to address the patterns of need that have been identified in a survey completed by parents, workers, and individuals who have an interest in early childhood development. Some programs target needs directly, while others facilitate participation, and yet others are projects that may result in program design or redesign in the future.
