It Takes a Village: Why Community Matters for Families
Parenting can be one of life's greatest joys—and one of its greatest challenges.
Some days feel effortless. Other days, finding matching socks feels like a major accomplishment.
That's why community matters.
For generations, families relied on neighbors, relatives, friends, and local organizations for support. Today, many parents feel pressure to do everything on their own. The reality is that families are stronger when they have connections.
A supportive community can help families:
Feel Less Isolated
Knowing that other parents face similar challenges can be incredibly reassuring. Sharing experiences often helps reduce stress and build confidence.
Access Helpful Resources
From child care information to developmental screenings and parenting support, community resources can help families find answers and navigate challenges.
Learn From One Another
Every family has unique experiences and strengths. When parents connect, they exchange ideas, encouragement, and practical solutions.
Build Stronger Futures for Children
Children benefit when the adults in their lives feel supported. Strong family networks contribute to healthier, more resilient communities.
One of the most valuable things parents can do is ask for help when they need it. Seeking support isn't a sign of weakness—it's a sign of strength and commitment to your family's well-being.
At Solano Family & Children's Services, we believe every family deserves access to resources, support, and opportunities that help children thrive. Together, we can create a community where families feel connected, informed, and empowered.
Because raising children isn't a journey anyone should have to walk alone.
It truly takes a village.

What lack of sleep does to the teenage brain - Wendy Troxel
Dig into how sleep deprivation affects the teenage body and brain, and what can be done to help adolescents get enough sleep.
--
Sleep deprivation among American teenagers is an epidemic. Only about 1 in 10 teens gets the 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night recommended by sleep scientists and pediatricians. So, what’s going on? And what changes can be made to address this issue? Wendy Troxel shares how early school start times and public policy are depriving adolescents of sleep at a time when they need it most.

Why Play Is Serious Business for Young Children
When adults see children building blanket forts, pretending to be astronauts, or turning a cardboard box into a race car, it may look like they're "just playing."
But children are actually doing some of their most important work.
Play helps children develop critical skills that support learning, relationships, and emotional well-being. Through play, children learn how to solve problems, communicate ideas, manage emotions, and explore the world around them.
Here are a few surprising benefits of play:
Play Builds Brain Power
When children imagine, create, and experiment, their brains are making connections that support future learning. A tower made of blocks today can help develop problem-solving skills for tomorrow.
Play Strengthens Social Skills
Whether children are sharing toys, taking turns, or negotiating the rules of a game, they're learning valuable relationship skills that will serve them throughout life.
Play Supports Emotional Growth
Pretend play allows children to process experiences, express feelings, and build confidence in a safe environment.
The Best Toys Aren't Always the Most Expensive
Children often find joy in simple items such as cardboard boxes, art supplies, books, blankets, and outdoor spaces. What matters most is the opportunity to explore and create.
Parents and caregivers can encourage learning through play by asking open-ended questions:
- "What do you think will happen next?"
- "How did you build that?"
- "Can you tell me about your drawing?"
These conversations help children develop language skills and confidence while keeping play fun.
The next time you see a child pretending the living room is a pirate ship, remember: they're not wasting time.
They're building skills for life.

The Secret Superpower Every Parent Already Has
Parenting doesn't come with an instruction manual. If it did, it would probably be 10,000 pages long, written in tiny print, and immediately covered in applesauce.
The good news? You already have one of the most important tools your child needs: your relationship with them.
Research consistently shows that children thrive when they have caring, responsive adults in their lives. Simple daily interactions—reading a book together, talking during dinner, playing a game, or listening to a child's story about their day—help build the foundation for healthy development.
Many parents feel pressure to be perfect. Social media can make it seem like everyone else has endless patience, spotless homes, and children who happily eat vegetables. Real life looks a little different.
Children don't need perfect parents. They need connected parents.
Here are three simple ways to strengthen your connection:
1. Create "Micro-Moments" of Attention
You don't always need hours of quality time. Even five focused minutes can make a difference. Put away your phone, make eye contact, and follow your child's lead during play or conversation.
2. Celebrate Small Wins
Did your child put away their shoes without being asked? Share a toy? Try a new food? Celebrate it. Positive attention encourages positive behavior.
3. Build a Support Team
Parenting was never meant to be a solo mission. Friends, family members, teachers, child care providers, and community organizations can all play a role in helping families thrive.
At Solano Family & Children's Services, we believe strong families build strong communities. Every conversation, every encouraging word, and every shared moment helps children grow with confidence.
So if today feels messy, remember: the little moments matter more than perfection ever will.
And yes, the applesauce can wait.

Learning Happens Everywhere
Did you know children learn through everyday experiences? Reading a story, helping set the table, or talking about their day all help build important skills.

The Strengthening Families framework is a research-informed approach to increase family strengths, enhance child development, and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect.
Protective factors are characteristics or strengths of individuals, families, communities or societies that act to mitigate risks and promote positive well-being and healthy development. Most often, we see them as attributes that help families to successfully navigate difficult situations.

What Is the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)?
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally funded initiative designed to support the health and well-being of children in care settings. Operated through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under its Food and Nutrition Services Program, CACFP plays an important role in ensuring children receive balanced, nutritious meals throughout the day.
At its core, the program helps child care providers offer healthy meals and snacks to the children they serve. By promoting proper nutrition early in life, CACFP supports growth, development, and lifelong healthy habits.
Locally, Solano Family & Children’s Services (SFCS) proudly sponsors the Food Program in Solano and Napa counties. Through this partnership, family child care homes receive guidance, resources, and support to meet nutrition standards and provide quality meals to children in their care.
CACFP is more than just a food program—it’s a commitment to nurturing healthier communities by starting with the youngest members.

Understanding the Solano Eligibility List (SEL)
The Solano Eligibility List (SEL) helps ensure that childcare services are provided to families who need them most. By ranking applicants based on specific criteria, the SEL creates a fair and structured way to prioritize enrollment.
Families are evaluated using factors like gross household income, family size, and other qualifying needs. Before enrollment, income must be verified to confirm eligibility. In addition, children involved with Child Protective Services (CPS), or those at risk of neglect or abuse, are given top priority to ensure their safety and well-being.
In cases where a child lives with a guardian or foster parent, only the child’s income is considered when determining their ranking on the list. This helps provide equitable access to services regardless of the caregiver’s financial situation.
While income plays a major role in eligibility, it’s not the only factor. There are additional circumstances that may qualify a family for support. To better understand where you stand, you can view and download the current family size and income guidelines, or complete an application to explore all eligibility options.
The SEL is designed to make access to childcare more transparent, fair, and responsive to the needs of the community.

LOCALLY SERVING SOLANO COUNTY FAMILIES AND CHILDREN
Important Update
Enrollment for our Subsidized Child Care Program is currently paused. Families may still apply to join the Solano Eligibility List (SEL), which is the first step for those seeking help paying for child care.
Getting Started
Solano Family & Children’s Services (SFCS) may provide full or partial payment for child care services for Solano County residents. The programs are designed to help income-eligible families afford child care. The programs serve children under the age of 13, children with documented special or exceptional needs may be served through age 21. A key component of the programs is parental choice. This allows enrolled families to choose the child care setting that meets the specific needs of the family. Funding is provided through a combination of federal, state, and local agencies. When funding allows, SFCS will open enrollment to new families based on our Solano Eligibility List (SEL). This list is different from a waiting list in that we pull based on eligibility and need; not time on this list. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a family will receive assistance through a subsidized child care program. Exceptions families who are currently receiving Cash Aid or who have been on Cash Aid in the last two years, and who meet the income guidelines and have a need for child care. Families must submit an application to place their name on the Solano Eligibility List (SEL) for the child care program(s) that best meet the needs of their family. Families do not automatically receive subsidized child care by submitting the application.

The Benefits of the CACFP for Providers and Families
Participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) offers meaningful benefits for both child care providers and the families they serve.
One of the primary advantages is financial support. Providers receive a monthly reimbursement for serving nutritious meals and snacks that meet program guidelines. Participants may claim reimbursement for:
-
Up to two main meals and one snack per child, per day
OR -
Up to two snacks and one main meal per child, per day
This support helps offset grocery costs while ensuring children receive balanced, healthy meals in care.
Another important benefit is accessibility. All children from infancy through age 12 qualify for participation—regardless of family income level. Children with special needs have no age restrictions, making the program inclusive and supportive for families with diverse needs. In some cases, providers may also be eligible to claim their own residential children, further extending the program’s value.
Parents also appreciate when their provider participates in CACFP. It gives them peace of mind knowing their children are receiving nutritious meals without the added stress of packing food each day. For providers, this can be a strong selling point when marketing a family child care home. Participation demonstrates a commitment to health, quality, and professionalism—qualities families look for when choosing care.
Overall, CACFP supports healthy children, strengthens child care businesses, and builds confidence for parents—all while promoting lifelong healthy eating habits.

Programs like CACFP demonstrate how community partnerships and federal support can work together to make a meaningful difference—one healthy meal at a time.
