Family Involvement Connections (FIC)
Family Involvement Connections (FIC) is a family involvement and
support program offered through participating childcare
centers in Hillsborough County. The program is provided
through a collaboration with the Children’s Board of Hillsborough
County.
The program gives parents the information and support
they need to raise healthy children. FIC coordinators
help parents plan activities and gatherings for families
enrolled in their childcare centers. PSP coordinators
also help identify potential risks and challenges facing
children and work with parents to address those concerns.
The Kindergarten Transition Program (KTP), a service
of PSP, works with pre-school children and their parents,
along with local elementary schools, to ease the child’s
transition into kindergarten. KTP encourages parents
to build a relationship between the kindergarten teacher,
their child and the school prior to the start of the
new school year. KTP also suggests that parents implement
daily routines associated with attending school, including
developing reading readiness skills and practicing positive
social interaction.
