CC&F/EDC provided intensive on-site technical assistance to more than 100 Head Start and Early Head Start programs. As part of a national initiative, CC&F/EDC helped these programs establish early literacy mentor-coaching systems and devise and implement continuous improvement efforts. CC&F/EDC guided the programs in developing effective approaches to management, organizational and community development, early education, health, and family support and involvement. CC&F/EDC also conducted conferences that offered continuing education units and developed and delivered college courses for early childhood educators. CC&F/EDC continues to carry on this work through our early childhood consultation services.
