A child is safe. A child is healthy. And, when it comes time to start school, that
child has the social and emotional tools needed for a successful start. When we provide for these outcomes, what better investment can we make for our communities and for ourselves?

Many programs both private and public exist to help make sure every child gets
off to a great start. But one initiative, the Copper Country Great Start Collaborative,
is working to identify where these programs overlap and where there are gaps in
providing the community support needed our children from birth through age five.

We invite you to join us as we identity the gaps -- and rally community support needed to fill those holes -- in a variety of areas: health needs (physical, social and emotional), early child care and education, family and parenting support, economic
security, and safety.
