About CFCE
At Making Opportunity Count, our Coordinated Family & Community Engagement (CFCE) program provides free resources, activities, and support for families with children from birth to age 6. We partner with parents, caregivers, and local organizations to strengthen early learning, support healthy child development, and connect families to the community.
Through playgroups, parent workshops, early literacy events, and referrals to local resources, CFCE helps families feel confident, supported, and connected—building strong foundations for children to thrive in school and life.
