How we plan
Our strategic planning process is based on solid information about our community's needs for young children. A committee made of of members of the Board and the staff set goals and use information to make plans on how to reach these goals.
Collaborating
At the Partnership for Children collaboration is the key to success. The Partnership's mission is to bring groups working for families and young children in the county together - in order to avoid duplication, share ideas, and make life better for young children.
