Our vision is to be a community in which every child experiences well-being, is connected, and is ready to thrive.

Welcome to the Navarro County Early Childhood Coalition!

Data from 2016 collected by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler informed our community that children in Navarro County were at a comparatively high risk for maltreatment compared to other children their ages across the state of Texas.

Quote

Data from the study shared that factors that contribute to heightened risk included:

  • high emergency room use by infants
  • non-abuse related injuries
  • low daycare enrollment
  • smoking during pregnancy
  • low breastfeeding rates

The Navarro County Early Childhood Coalition was formed in January of 2020 to address these and other concerns across the community as a way to work together to move the needle in Navarro County. Research shows that the first five years of a child’s life are the most important and most impactful for a child’s foundation for life. Early experiences provide the base for the brain’s organizational development and functioning throughout life. These experiences also have a direct impact on how children develop learning skills as well as social and emotional abilities. The Navarro County Early Childhood Coalition exists to organize a diverse group of early childhood leaders and stakeholders to turn the curve in regards to safety, health, connection, and school readiness for young children in Navarro County.
