Our Mission

Families, child care providers and teachers know that often times a child may need a little extra help to thrive, but many do not know how to help or where to turn. Abilities Network’s Project ACT program can help with the following: on-site training for child care staff, individualized child observations and support planning, center wide coaching and mentoring to increase staff knowledge and skills, family support, resource and referral  services, and access to individualized services to facilitate the optimal growth and development of children.
