In 2007, Richmond Children First received funding from Success by 6 for Parent Connectors, a project that provided training to parents with young children, under the age of 6 years, to help them link to other parents in the community. One of the projects undertaken by the Parent Connectors in 2008 was to conduct a series of focus groups with parents. The goals of this project were to:
- Identify the needs and issues of parent with children prenatal to 6 years old as related to the distribution of program materials on early child development programs.
- Identify barriers to access families face in accessing early child development programs.
- Build capacity among volunteer parents to connect with other parents and gather information through focus groups.
- Inform early child development service providers on how they may better outreach and respond to the needs of parents in all aspects of diversity.
