Support Management

Stepping Stones

This school readiness initiative takes a holistic approach towards preparing children for school. Focusing on families with children prenatal through five, our Support Management team will help connect families with the resources and services they need to have children ready to learn when they start school. Serving as the family’s advocate and liaison, Support Managers ensure that families receive the quality service and care that they need. Barriers that normally discourage families are eliminated through consistent follow up and language appropriate representatives. Families living in the attendance area of Captain Jason Dahl, Los Arboles, and Seven Trees Elementary Schools will benefit from our service.
