Candidate Communities

These communities have accepted the challenge to become certified Excel By 5 "child-friendly" communities. As a program--and as a community--they support parents and children by connecting them with the available resources and services they need to lead healthy, strong lives.

Our goal is for all of the children in these Excel By 5 communities to be healthier and better prepared for kindergarten and first grade.

Our Excel By 5 communities are out to spread the word!
