Champaign County Birth to 6 Council

The Birth to Six Council recognizes the role of the family as the primary influence in promoting a child's development.

The Birth to Six Council envisions families, independent providers, agencies, and concerned community members working together to:

• Identify children age birth to six with or at risk of physical, social/emotional, and/or developmental needs
• Ensure access to services
• Raise public awareness
• Advocate for families with young children including those with or at risk of physical, social/emotional, and/or developmental needs
• Recruit knowledgeable and skilled providers
• Promote interagency collaboration
• Support local efforts to provide family-centered services
• Promote high quality services

This continued collaborative effort is essential to the success of the local system in terms of service facilitation and delivery, family support and advocacy, system planning and funding.
