  • Track & Celebrate Development: Administer evidence-based screenings (vision, hearing) and use the Teaching Strategies GOLD tool to assess growth and set actionable individual goals alongside parents.
  • Connections: Use a strengths-based, two-generation approach to link families to vital community programs, track child health statuses, and support medical/dental follow-ups.
  • Build Community: Organize and facilitate dynamic parent committees, group socials, and program events, occasionally providing safe transportation in an Eagle County vehicle.
