Families Board is the early childhood initiative in Hamilton, Humboldt, and Wright Counties. In the summer of 1999, Building Families developed an early childhood plan that addresses the needs of children aged 0-5. The plan establishes a continuum of services that enhances healthy children, provides children the necessary components to be ready to succeed in school, develops safe and supportive communities, secure and nurturing families and secure and nurturing child care environments.

Five month old Chloe Nicole loves playing with her frog mirror. She makes faces and laughs at herself.
The Magic Mirror is designed to be used in or out of the bathtub. By wetting the back it will stick to the bathtub or float in the water. Children love to look at themselves. The mirror will teach your child their own identity:
· Tell your infant who they are seeing in the mirror, Mommy or Baby(use child’s name)
· Make funny faces in the mirror and see if the infant or toddler will mimic you; identify feelings with the faces such as sad, happy, sleepy
