Dear Library staff:

 

On June 1, 2010, the State of New Jersey unveiled its newest Website, NJ

Parent Link, The Early Childhood, Parenting and Professional Resource

Center.

 

http://www.njparentlink.nj.gov

 

NJ Parent Link is a broad based public/private initiative (10 state

departments and 14 community/professional partners) supported by the

federal Health Resources & Services Administration’s, State Early Childhood

Comprehensive System (ECCS) Program Grant (2009-2012).

 

New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services is the lead agency for

this project, coordinating over 30 government service units participating

on the website development team.

 

Highlighting state services and resources, the goal of NJ Parent Link is to

improve the accessibility, coordination and delivery of information and

services to parents of young children, to improve the communication

capabilities between the public and private sectors, and provide the IT

foundation for inter/intra agency service collaborations and policy

development.

 

Innovative website features include: interactive consumer content sections;

tailored subscription services, a community calendar of events; continuing

education/leadership postings; a children’s art gallery and streaming video

for public service announcements.

 

We would like to encourage you to become familiar with the site/site

features as a ready resource to assist with your work you do as well as to

share with the public we serve.

 

After you have taken the time to look at the site, if you would like a more

in depth overview of the site/project,  I am available to conduct group NJ

Parent Link presentations (30-45 minute tutorials) for those service

units/stakeholder groups interested. (My contact information is below to

arrange this service.)

 

In the meanwhile, enjoy the site and the many consumer/professional

interactive features available.

 

Thank you.
