Top 10 Ideas for Supporting Children Ages 0-5

Supporting our youngest children has been a core focus of CFE. The poster “Top 10 Ideas for Supporting Children Ages 0-5” offers age-appropriate, relationship-driven strategies to advocate for the little ones in our system while also recognizing the critical role parents and caregivers play in a child’s healthy development.

Whether through quality visitation, observation, or the use of matching cards, our work centers around building safety and connection from the earliest years. For children ages 0–5, relationships are the foundation for everything that follows, and supporting parents in nurturing those relationships is just as important as supporting the child directly. These early moments shape lifelong trajectories, and 10 years of CFE has helped us show up better for young children and their families.
