Successful Start
Early childhood is a critical time of complex human development. Strong families and nurturing communities provide the foundation for children's healthy development, supporting success in school and later life.

Successful Start is a statewide, collaborative effort to strengthen Rhode Island's system of services for young children and families. The project is focused on four critical domains of early childhood health and development:

• Early Care & Education
• Medical Homes/Health Care
• Parent Education & Family Support
• Social-Emotional Development

Successful Start partners include state departments, community-based agencies, child care providers, health care and mental health professionals, advocates, and parents of young children.
