young children and family programs

Parents throughout the years have provided us with testimonials about how their participation in services provided through YCFP has changed their lives. Here is what a few of them had to say:

Elissa
	“Knowing my First Steps volunteer would be calling was a highpoint of those first few months. I felt alone and isolated when I came home from the hospital and she helped me feel connected. She gave great practical suggestions that I’ve even shared with other new moms. Her calls gave my husband and I hope that we were succeeding as first time parents.”

Palouse Parent
	“The Ages and Stages Program is absolutely wonderful. I notice things (small details) about my daughters development I never would have thought of on my own even though I have a background in child development. I enjoy filling out the questionnaires and I look forward to receiving the results. It’s great to get confirmation from professionals that everything is on track.”

Angel
	“The Community Compass is a continued help throughout the years. Found my child care through it.”

Krista
	“It was nice to know that there was someone who would be calling me and checking up on me as a new mom. I listed out my questions and when the First Steps volunteer called I had an opportunity to discuss them. Thanks for just ‘being there’.”

An Oversight Committee comprised of parents, service providers, educators and community leaders from both Latah and Whitman County provides guidance and direction for Young Children and Family Programs of the Palouse. This Committee communicates with the Early Childhood Service Council, which is the official Advisory Board for YCFP.
