Ceil Receives Roots and Wings Award “For more than three decades, you have been a passionate voice and advocate for children in New Jersey. Through your tireless efforts, extraordinary intellect and deep sense of fairness and social justice, you have secured key advances in child welfare, early care and education and health care in New Jersey. You have opened our eyes and we can never close them again,” said the award, presented by Gerard Costa, the center’s director. We here at ACNJ certainly agree. Congrats Ceil and thanks for all you do for NJ kids! Register to attend a free Kids Count forum. Go to NJ Kids Count 2015. With training and guidance from the Zero To Three National Center for Infants and Toddlers, the team met regularly over the last two years to explore what was currently in place in New Jersey, identify gaps and determine what changes in policies and practices were needed to strengthen services for our youngest children. To engage additional infant-toddler stakeholders from around the state, two statewide surveys were also conducted. ACNJ just released a summary of the team’s conclusions. Read the report. |
