Details

Help us to identify the parent perspective on what is working well, what barriers exist and what needs they would like met regarding Early Childhood Development in their community.

We would like students to focus on:

  • Early Childhood Development programs/events the parents are currently involved in
  • What barriers exist to assessing the latest information/programs on Early Childhood Development
  • What parents feel are working well in Early Childhood Development and how can our coalitions can build upon that foundation.

A few areas of specific interest for us include:

  • Existing effective Early Childhood Development agencies/programs/events
  • Parents preferred way they would like to be engaged with the latest research on Early Childhood Development.
  • Specific examples of identified barriers to Early Childhood Development information/events/agencies/programs
