We are addressing issues of child health, child development, family functioning, and systems of care in the neighborhoods of San Francisco. Explore our work in our 2005-2006 evaluation report (PDF) released in 2007.
Improved Child Health
Children can't do their best if they don't feel their best. That's why we will continue to make sure that children have access to quality health care, beginning before they are born. We will also expand access to include comprehensive dental, vision, hearing, and developmental screenings.
Enhanced Child Development
Adults play a crucial part in a child's development, which is why we will focus on enhancing the relationships between children, their families and their early childhood teachers and childcare providers. We will also work on strengthening the abilities of key caregivers.
Improved Family Functioning
Raising children is an enormous responsibility. All families can benefit from support and guidance in a child's development, which is why we have created a strong, neighborhood-based network of family resource centers (FRCs) that meet those needs. We will focus on building these FRCs as a platform for supporting families and their young children.
Improved Systems of Care
We are constantly working to help child-devoted organizations create more accessible, effective programs. We partner with parents, other city agencies and foundations to recommend improvements in public systems of care for young children.
