Early Childhood Development

Foothill Family's Early Childhood Development program is dedicated to nurturing the rapid brain development that occurs in the first five years of life. Understanding the critical nature of these formative years, the program offers comprehensive support to parents and children from prenatal stages through age five. Services include parent education, home visits during pregnancy, developmental assessments, and partnerships with child care providers. Additionally, specialized initiatives like Healthy Families America and Early Head Start enhance family connections, prevent child abuse, and promote the healthy development of infants and toddlers through educational curriculum, health services, and social-emotional support. First Connections and Early Esteem programs further support children with developmental delays or mental health challenges through targeted interventions and therapies.
