The Children's Institute is the NYSB5 partner lead for the NYSB5 Strong by Six Pilot in Rochester. The goal of the pilot is to promote comprehensive screening, referral, and follow-up in key areas at early care and education settings to ensure that children are developmentally on track and healthy from birth to age five.
For this demonstration project, the screenings will be implemented for children in several early childhood care and education centers in Rochester. The Children's Institute is also reaching children throughout the city during the pandemic by renovating a bus to bring services to communities and using technology to conduct virtual screenings.
