Focus on
Families:
Milton’s Early Years Photo Contest was a non-profit education project led by Our
Kids Network’s Milton Understanding
the
Early Years initiative. Its purpose was to use photos to show
the joy,
vitality and value
of families and the crucial role of parents and caregivers in
healthy child
development. The contest ended July 15, 2008.
Milton families entered as many photos as
they wished, with each photo relating to one of the contest’s
six categories:
- Time Together
- Communication
- Security and
Trust
- Love of
Learning
- Caring for
Yourself and Others
- Dads and Kids
