The Meriden Children First Initiative (CFI) helps children become ready, willing and able to succeed. CFI works with a variety of community partners to sponsor parent leadership trainings, publish useful research and information, and connect families with community resources.
Throughout 2008, Meriden parent and community leaders have gathered to discuss the preliminary findings for the Meriden Early Childhood Blueprint project. The goal of this effort is to design and implement a plan of action for Meriden that will support young children to be ready, willing and able to succeed. See blue print pictures.
