This includes continued professional development of educators and healthcare professionals, as well as parent workshops.<\/p><p>Partners are also aligned in their preparedness and commitment to support\u00a0<strong>community systems change<\/strong>. By developing an early childhood coordinated system across Fox Valley in which the school districts, community based early childhood programs and community agencies serving families and children all work as one unit, Aurora\u2019 young children will have the resources, knowledge and skills to thrive during the PN3 period and beyond.<\/p><p>The\u00a0<em>Bright Beginnings<\/em>\u00a0initiative has three impact goals for increasing the number of children in Fox Valley enrolled in prenatal, home visiting and infant\/toddler child care programs, as well as receiving Early Intervention:<\/p><ol><li>Create better aligned efforts and practices while building partnerships with human service agencies serving high need children to facilitate outreach, referral and enrollment of children ages 0 to 3 in home visiting and development programs using SPARK\u2019s Gateway to Early Childhood, single point of enrollment.<\/li><li>Provide more coordinated services and efforts through facilitated Collective Impact dialogues\/trainings with pediatricians, and home visiting programs that will deepen our community\u2019s understanding about the positive impact for our families and children with shared strategies such as intentional cross referral.<\/li><li>Improve accessibility of services and efforts through a community wide developmental screening effort to build awareness about the importance of developmental screenings and increase the number of children 0-5 being screened on a regular basis.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section
