Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health has mobilized efforts to develop and support an early childhood system of care built on strong partnerships among parents and professionals across systems that serve young children (0-6 years of age) and their families. The Early Childhood System of Care encompasses principles of primary, secondary and tertiary care with services and supports available in pre-school, day-care and Head-Start settings and in community based mental health clinics, with a focus on the concept that promoting young children’s positive emotional, social and behavioral skills is key to ensuring children’s success in school and in life.
