Hi everyone! My name is Melissa, I am the Program Coordinator of Bergen County Council for Young Children (BCCYC) and families through CarePlus. BCCYC is an opportunity for families to come together to be active community partners. Parents will share and learn about health, education, and the well-being of their children as well as offer ideas, opinions, and solutions to build stronger connections for children and families within the community.
Program Goals
For Bergen County to become a strong and successful community with input from parents, caregivers, guardians, and other community members.
Expecting parents and families with children up to the age of 8 years old are invited to engage in group discussion to:
- Help community partners to identify issues and concerns that affect infants, young children and families.
- Learn about and provide input in the development of community services for pregnancy, birth, early childhood, and school entry through age 8.
- Ensure that state and local policies and practices recognize the strengths and meet the needs of families.
- Advocate for school readiness and preparedness.
For more information, you can contact me through email: [email protected] or call/text me at 201-370-9390.
