Family Stability
Families are more stable when the needs of their young children are met.
A child’s ability to learn, grow and succeed in school requires access to high-quality care and education. This Action Kit describes how municipal leaders can support parents and promote early childhood success – from ensuring child health and safety to expanding access to care. In addition, this report illustrates the long-term benefits to cities and towns when the needs of young children and their families are a community priority.
Efforts that promote the healthy development of young children pay big dividends for cities and towns. Positive experiences between birth and school entry boost a child’s future prospects keeping them off the public welfare roles. Also, strong early childhood programs support working parents and attract better workers to the community.
