* Develop print resources on components of quality early childhood
education, child care and parenting, for use by educators, service
providers and parents.
* Establish a training and information system based on research and
best practice in the area of literacy and language development.
* Establish systems to engage parents, school personnel, local
volunteers and community service providers in activities which
support and ensure student success.
* Collect, analyze and report local data related to Outcomes and
Indicators of Child and Family Well-Being.
* Develop a website which will provide information on available
services to children and families in all 15 school districts.
* Increase public awareness on the need to support pre-literacy and
language development initiatives.
