Family Engagement Specialists
For Providers: Our Family Engagement program promotes and supports early childhood development and family engagement through coordinating free, interactive family events, offering child developmental screening and connecting families to community support services.
What We Do
Community Child Cares Solutions offers free developmental screening for children birth to 5 years old. The Screening is a quick check of a child’s developmental milestones. The screening takes a snapshot of the child’s current skills and helps accurately identify children who may be at risk for delays - the screening does not give a diagnosis. Regular screening provides a fast and helpful look at how the child is doing in important areas like communication, social skills, motor skills, and problem-solving skills.
Screening can identify the child’s strengths, uncover new milestones to celebrate, and reveal any areas where the child may need support. It helps you understand the child’s development and know what to look for next. And it helps you work with parents and caregiver’s to plan next steps when it makes the most difference—the child’s critical first years of life.
If there is a need for developmental screenings within your child care center or family child care business, please contact us at rsvp@cccschildcare.org

Books, Balls & Blocks
Our Family Engagement Specialists coordinate free fun family-friendly interactive events through our Books, Balls & Blocks (BBB) initiative. BBB provides the community with an entertaining venue where information about child development, developmental screenings, and community resources are provided. Our events include activity stations revolving around books (emergent literacy), balls (gross and fine motor and problem-solving skills) and blocks (emergent math and fine motor skills).
If you are a community partner or center director and would like to support our events by providing venue space, being a vendor, providing a donation, etc. please contact us at rsvp@cccschildcare.og
Parent Café
Our Parent Cafés provide parents and caregivers the opportunity to learn about various resources and topics, participate in informative workshops and presentations, and engage in meaningful conversations.
If you are a community partner/agency who would like to present resources at our cafes please contact us rsvp@cccschildcare.org. If you are interested in partnering with us for presentations for the families enrolled in your child care center or family child care business, please reach out as well.
