The Children’s Project of Palm Beach

Have you seen the recent commercials on television or seen the ads in the paper?
The Early Childhood Initiative Foundation is spearheaded by Dave Lawrence of The Children’s Trust in Miami-Dade County. The Foundation is sponsoring The Children’s Project of Palm Beach– a feasibility study about the potential for organizing and building a politically powerful Children’s Movement of Florida, significantly shaping the State’s priorities for children.
Those priorities include:
- Access to quality health care.
- Training for parents and guidance for mentoring.
- Early screening and treatment for children who might have special needs.
- Stimulating and nurturing child care.
- High-quality pre-kindergarten.
This is a countywide outreach project to strictly educate and inform Palm Beach County residents about essential issues regarding children in order to ensure that they are prepared and ready to learn in school and able to succeed in life.
To that end Dave Lawrence at The Early Childhood Initiative Foundation http://www.teachmorelovemore.org/ECIF.asp , funded by the Kellogg Foundation www.wkkf.org , is promoting the Children’s Project of Palm Beach during April and May. The goal during these two months is to learn how media messages and grassroots organization might educate and inform the public about the need for a “movement” for children. This non-partisan effort seeks to measure the extent to which people, once informed, can actually tell us how they received new information and why it is important for children. That then gives us a better chance of prioritizing resources to benefit children and families.
RCPB is pleased to be co-hosting an event which will further our understanding of the program. The event is FREE – but reservations are REQUIRED. Please contact Bette Anne at 561-697-4911 or via email info@gopclubpb.org
