Healthy Kids
Healthy Community

Promoting healthy development for children by supporting families, childhood professionals, and employers.

Our Services

Members of the Montelores Early Childhood Council believe that the first years last forever. We envision a community in which kids have healthy, nurturing early family and education environments; families and early childhood professionals have the supports they need to promote healthy development; and all community members work together to make this vision a reality.

Our website has resources for families, early childhood professionals, and employers. We hope it will inspire you to join with us to make our community a better place for our youngest citizens and their families.

Here is what one young mom recently wrote to us about the work we do:

“Well, as a mother of a little one, and as a parent who works and raises a child in this community, I cannot thank you all enough for the work you do.  It’s tremendously important, but you already knew that!  My daughter and I are blessed to know you.  You guys are literally SAVING THE WORLD.”
