🌱 Our Commitment to Developmental Screening Continues!

Today was another exciting step forward in our shared commitment to developmental screening and supporting young children and families across the North Country.

Coalition partners provided two in-person ASQ Family Access trainings for Head Start staff across the region.

In Berlin, Mariah Middleton, of Gorham Community Learning Center and Shelli Roberts, Coalition Operations Coordinator, supported Head Start employees from Berlin, Colebrook, Conway, and Tamworth.

Meanwhile in Littleton, Alyssa Antonucci, Early Childhood Community Health Worker at Ammonoosuc Community Health Services, and Kelly Dussault, Coalition Executive Director, worked with Head Start employees from Littleton, Groveton, Whitefield, and Plymouth.

💚 ASQ Online continues to grow across our region, helping early childhood professionals and families better understand and celebrate children's development, identify needs early, and partner together around the next steps that help children thrive.

We are grateful for our Head Start and community partners who continue to lean into this work with us. When families and providers have the right tools and work together, early identification becomes an opportunity for connection and support.
