The mission of the Commission is: The Colusa County Children and Families Commission is committed to enhancing the lives of all children prenatal to age five and their families through a countywide, comprehensive, integrated system of early childhood development. The vision of the kind of future the Commission is working to create is: We envision an era when all children in Colusa County spend their early childhood years in positive surroundings that help them to reach their full potential. Children are born healthy and enjoy happy lives in supportive, nurturing and loving environments. They are healthy, resilient, well-adjusted, and ready to learn when they reach kindergarten. Their journey through childhood is enhanced by parents and caregivers that are informed, capable, and confident in their ability to guide children toward becoming productive members of society. This document represents the strategic plan covering a minimum of three years, from July 2004 through June 2007. The plan may be extended for additional years.
