With funding from 15 private and community foundations, two Prop 10 Commissions, the United Way, and the city and county of San Francisco, the Early Childhood Mental Health Project provides mental health consultation to 46 low-income child care centers. In helping teachers develop awareness and understanding of their interactions with children, the model seeks to improve overall care while targeting the developmental needs of individual children.

Healthy Child Care America (HCCA) uses federal funds, managed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, in efforts to ensure that all children experience child care within a nurturing environment and have a medical home. Its principles are based on the fact that families, child care providers, and health professionals in partnership can promote the healthy development of young children in child care settings and can increase access to preventive health services and safe physical environments. www.healthychildcare.org/ | |
