It’s back to school time in West Michigan, and families are navigating all kinds of changes. Having access to regular age-appropriate tools and resources is crucial in helping children reach their full potential. How do you know if your 4- or 5-year-old is kindergarten ready? What can you do with your younger children while the older ones are at school?
We talk with Karissa Monzo, Family Support Navigator, and Blakelee Dunkelberg, Public Relations Specialist, from Family Futures to learn more about the ways in which they are supporting families through accessible and equitable access to community-based resources and services for parents with school age children and younger.
