Current Priorities
- Connect communities to the (soon-to-be) new and improved KidsPriorityOne.org database so organizations can help families access resources.
- Convene school divisions to align the kindergarten registration process across the cities.
- Promote Text 4 BABY app for pregnant moms and their families.
- Establish a public service campaign about the important role families play in helping their babies and pre-school children develop.
It is my hope that we can identify targeted best practice solutions to build strong and stable families, customize them for South Hampton Roads and implement them so they reach the most at-risk families.
