Building Communities one tool, one parent, one center and lots of data at a time
First 5 California, First 5 LA, CCRC and other sponsors have transformed Glendale's Hilton Hotel for the last 3 days vetting " Three Brainy Birds- Spreading the Word", information about the difference Talking, Tuning- In and Taking turns can make, discussing QRIS, LCAP, LCFF, and data collection in making decisions, courting Board members and underwriting strategic steps that will bring innovative science research to young children and babies in the near future to build young minds, strong bodies and integrate new dynamic learning into the home, one's routine and even errands and cleaning house or going to the doctor.
