The Cuyahoga County Early Childhood Initiative is a
public/private collaborative effort to promote and improve early intervention and supportive services to all children in the County, from birth through age five. The Initiative consists of five interrelated components: (1) a universal home visitation program for every first-time and teenage mother giving birth in the County [Welcome Home], and an intensive multi-year home visitation program for new parents facing the greatest challenges [Early Start]; (2) improved childcare services, including expanding the network of home-based child care in the County while maintaining quality; (3) enhanced childcare services for children with special needs through training and technical assistance to childcare providers; (4) expanded health insurance coverage of children from low-income, working families; and, (5) a public education campaign to raise awareness of the importance of a child's first few years of life.
