CHILD DEVELOPMENT AWARENESS and education
I“The More We Know The Better They Grow” is the Coalition's campaign to create awareness for parents, teachers and others about a variety of topics that affect a young children's growth and development. In partnership with the Center for Disease Control, Coalition members have developed a comprehensive and collaborative outreach initiative designed to connect families/ early childhood professionals with information on developmental checklists and the availability and importance of screening and appropriate intervention services.
The desired outcomes are to improve parent and teacher knowledge of basic child development, increase the number of children ages birth through five that are screened for developmental delays, and connect families and professionals to additional resources, supports and services such as early intervention services.

Agencies, programs, schools, child care providers, health professionals and others can participate in the initiative by pledging to distribute educational information on child development in an ongoing and systematic manner. The information provided can be what a program or agency is currently providing OR partners can take advantage of using some news materials provided by the Coalition.
Currently available materials are listed below. For more information contact Lisa McCuan at CCR&R –
