Community Outreach & Child Advocacy


The Mailman Segal Institute plays an active part in shaping policies that support families. Areas of special interest include improving the quality of child care and the professional status of child care workers, providing early intervention programs for all families, literacy, infant/toddler mental health, and school readiness.

Community outreach activities include providing early childhood training and parent education; consulting with and developing programming for public radio and television; contributing articles to professional journals, newspapers, and magazines; and participating in professional organizations. Activities within Broward County's underserved communities are provided through The Jim & Jan Moran Community Outreach Initiative, which is dedicated to extending the institute's programs including child care center development, early childhood training, and parent education.
