Members of the Montelores Early Childhood Council believe that the first years last forever. We envision a community in which kids have healthy, nurturing early family and education environments; families and early childhood professionals have the supports they need to promote healthy development; and all community members work together to make this vision a reality.

Our website has resources for families, early childhood professionals, and employers. We hope it will inspire you to join with us to make our community a better place for our youngest citizens and their families. Here is what one young mom recently wrote to us about the work we do:

"Well, as a mother of a little one, and as a parent who works and raises a child in this community, I cannot thank you all enough for the work you do. It's tremendously important, but you already knew that! My daughter and I are blessed to know you. You guys are literally SAVING THE WORLD."
