WARM LINE AND INCLUSION
Connecting families and providers with local resources
The Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County’s Early Intervention Team connects families and providers with local resources ensuring children are in an environment that is appropriate, supportive and encouraging.
The Coalition makes services and training available to child care providers to enhance educator’s knowledge and competence in serving children with developmental needs and disabilities. Inclusion services include technical assistance and consultation on curriculum and teaching strategies, environmental adaptations, and supporting daily activities.
Families and providers looking for information about child development can call our Warm Line and speak directly to the Early Intervention Manager about a child’s needs.
