Project LAUNCH OverviewAbundant research confirms that the foundation for a child's success in school, work, and relationships is established in the first years of life. When raised in a state of positive physical, emotional, social and behavioral health, children perform better academically, personally and socially.
Project LAUNCH is a new program that provides free resources for parents, educators, pediatricians and child care providers of children between from birth to the age of 8.
You will learn ways to implement successful evidence-based programs, promote protective factors, improve coordination among local child-serving programs, build infrastructure in the community and improve methods of providing services to benefit children.
Collaboration between the partners in Project LAUNCH will result in a community where children thrive in safe, supportive environments and enter school ready to learn and able to succeed.
Project LAUNCH is a new model, actively seeking parents and partnering organizations to create pathways for children to be successful.
Your children need you.
