building strong, ongoing relationships with Birth to 3 staff at the state and local level in order to understand the unique assets, issues and concerns for programs;
supporting continuous quality improvement of Birth to 3 programs through participation in the Birth to 3 program systematic review, development of Programs In Partnership (PIP) plan and the facilitation of appropriate training and technical assistance; and
facilitating community and statewide collaboration and the development of learning networks among leaders of programs serving families and young children.
