Hillsborough County, Florida Collaborates to Build Early Childhood Systems

Partners in Hillsborough County, Florida have come together to coordinate, evaluate and fund the infrastructure and activities of local initiatives that focus on enhancing services and improving outcomes for the county's young children. Largely through the leadership of Hillsborough County's Children's Board, the initiative brings together early childhood partners such as Children's Future, the Early Childhood Council, and the Healthy Start Coalition to create a coordinated early childhood system in areas such as administrative infrastructure, access to services, screening and assessment, and family support. Relationships among the partners in Hillsborough's system-building initiative have developed slowly over time, with the agencies currently work together through numerous interagency agreements.
