Community impact: We are working to use Touchpoints as the catalyst to ensure that all
providers in our early childhood system speak the same language and adopt the Touchpoints
approach.
Highlights since you began: Participants report that they now feel like they are providing the
level of service to families that they have always desired. Touchpoints practitioners believe they
are providing the highest possible level of care in a way that leaves them feeling rewarded in
their work. Touchpoints has brought systems of early care and education together in
collaboration.
