No one has more impact on a child than a parent. And no one knows what a child needs more than a parent. When it comes to finding ways to meet those needs, parents provide a real world perspective on what programs really work for both their children and for themselves. Their input is based on experience. Therefore, the Great Start initiative involves the formation of a Parent Coalition.
What is the Parent Coalition? The Great Start Parent Coalition serves as a “voice” for parents in the community. Volunteer parents of young children assist in building public support for early childhood as an investment, supports and participates in the assessment and strategic planning work of the Great Start Collaborative and strengthens the commitment of parents in the community, on behalf of young children.
