Maryland Family Network is making sure that young children in Maryland have access to the crucial resources -- that promote healthy physical, social, and emotional growth -- when they matter most. When we invest in children early, we elevate the sort of learning that helps children be successful in school, the workplace, and in life. It is crucial work that has lifelong benefits for the individuals who are helped, and also for the larger communities and for the nation.
I believe in the work of Maryland Family Network because I am convinced that the early years (birth to age 5) really do set the trajectory for the rest of the child's life. And Maryland Family Network helps improve experiences for kids in the two places that matter most -- their home and their child care program.
