If we really care about the health and well being of young children (birth to 3 years or 5 years) and their parents/guardians, then we need to involve those health care professionals who provide well child checkups/exams -- such as the MN Academy of Family Physicians, MN Academy of Pediatrics & the MN Pediatric Nurse Practitioner organizations (NAPNAP)>

We are an early childhood community and have benefited so much from this community approach. Programs, people, schools are working together and through our work we can see much better how we all fit together. This process helps us to accomplish more with less burden on individual(s)/program.
