Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems

Building Health Through Integration

Sponsored by the NM Department of Health, Family Health Bureau, Maternal and Child Health, Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (ECCS) supports communities in their efforts to build and integrate early childhood systems that address the critical components of access to comprehensive health services and medical homes; social-emotional development and mental health of young children’ early care and education; parenting education; and family support.

The 2013-2016 ECCS State Team will concentrate on the expansion of developmental screening activities in early care and education settings statewide by connecting pediatric and other child health leaders with child care health consultants and child care providers to link training and referrals among medical homes, early intervention services, child care programs, and families. The target service population is children, birth-three years old. The ECCS State Team will convene work groups to plan and implement the project within the three-year project period.

Using Results Based Accountability and the Collective Impact approach, the State Team will work on a common agenda to expand developmental screening activities. Contributions from multiple sectors will be aligned toward specific measureable results.
