Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems SEED Project: Scaling Effective Early Childhood Systems Development (ECCS SEED)

Goal 1: Establish or expand centralized intake referral systems (CIRS), working toward statewide reach. - 80% of unique families (counted once, not duplicated) connected to CIRS have been screened for whole family (parent and child) health needs. - 60% of unique children (9-30 months) connected to CIRS (counted once, not duplicated) have received timely developmental screening using a validated parent-completed tool. Goal 2: Implement an evidence-based early childhood development model in pediatric or public health settings in your community of focus. - All identified pediatric or public health providers in your community of focus have implemented the model. - 60% of P-5 families served by the model have received a timely well-child visit. Goal 3: Lead statewide coordination of P-5 early childhood systems. - You have convened state and local cross-sector partners and trained parent leaders, and engaged both in decision-making. - You have developed and implemented state and local guidelines and policies to improve early childhood health and development, and P-5 family well-being. Goal 4: Secure long-term and sustainable funding to spread project activities statewide. - You have obtained at least one other source of funding to expand or enhance ECCS SEED activities. - You have obtained other sources of funding to sustain successful ECCS SEED activities.
