Family Resources
Welcome to our Family Resource page!
Here you’ll find helpful information designed to support you as your child’s first and most important teacher. Explore resources about child development, learn more about what high-quality early learning looks like, and discover how your child’s program works with The Family Connection to continually strengthen the experiences they provide for children.
Together, families, teachers, and child care programs can make the early years count!
Making the Early Years Count

It provides a simple overview of how training, classroom assessment, and personalized coaching work together to support teachers, strengthen program quality, and create meaningful learning experiences for children.
It is Assessment day!
This sheet explains why classroom assessments are an important part of your program’s commitment to quality. It also shares what to expect on assessment day, helping everyone feel comfortable and understand how observations support teachers, strengthen classrooms, and create better learning experiences for children.
Child Development Sheets
This series of Child Development sheets was designed as a resource for both families and teachers to better understand children at different stages of development. Each sheet highlights what children are learning and experiencing at different stages of development and offers simple, accessible ideas for how adults can nurture development at home and in the classroom.
