Families are connected to a Resource Consultant who will work closely with you to understand your needs. They work to support your child, and to help you have a positive child care experience. The Resource Consultant will:

• Create a plan with you and the child care provider that focuses on your child’s strengths and areas of development
• Share ideas and strategies to use in the inclusion of all children
• Provide resources and information about other services that would benefit your family
• Support your child’s transition from child care to school, and to service coordination if appropriate
