Infants and toddlers are the most common victims of child maltreatment. However, the developmental needs of these children are not currently a priority in the child welfare system. This workshop will explore how early childhood programs and organizations can better meet those needs. Presenters include a parent who has successfully navigated the child welfare system and is now encouraging parents entering that system to seek high quality early childhood programs for their children, along with providers of home visiting and center-based programs. Workshop participants will be asked to share their experiences, ideas, and questions.
