The First Impressions Board strengthens the community's collaborative web of resources where children and families experience dignity and a sense of belonging.<br /> <br /> The Goals of FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF ROUTT COUNTY <br /> <ul> <li>Educate the public on the importance of early childhood care and education.<br /> <li>Provide parent education to ensure healthy development of children.<br /> <li>Ensure children will begin school ready to learn.<br /> </ul> First Impressions believes that it only makes sense to spend money on a child's education when it will do the most good - during the first 5 years of life when brain development is taking place most rapidly. This is why early childhood care and education - before Kindergarten - is so important.
