| Children First Southeastern Connecticut
Welcome to the website of Children First — Southeastern Connecticut.
We are a collaboration of Children First community programs
representing Norwich, New London and Groton. Because the needs of
children are not limited by town borders, we believe in sharing
resources and combining messages to speak with a united voice on
behalf of the children in our region.
Currently we are recruiting parents, care providers and concerned
community members to join our efforts in putting "children first" in
the minds of our legislators, municipalities and influential members
of our community.
Annually, we define our priorities, and currently Children First
Southeastern Connecticut is focusing on the following:
- Access to quality childcare and the development of childcare providers
- Affordable healthcare and healthcare insurance
- The importance of nutrition, balanced diet and good food choices
in children of all ages
- Preparing a child to learn by supporting the home as the first
learning environment
To become involved, contact the Children First program nearest you,
by visiting their individual websites. |
