VIPS needs your help!Throughout the years, VIPS has been tapped to support different agencies in their quest to launch vision services for young children. We take these requests seriously and want to honor the efforts of our partners on their journey. Recently, it has come to our attention that we do not have a tight grasp on what exactly is offered in early childhood programming in each state/region. VIPS is now on our own quest to get that information - and we need your help! By completing this survey, you will help us greatly. Once the information is collected from a variety of entities, I will be happy to share the results with you. If you have any questions regarding the survey, they can be addressed to Kathy Mullen at [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
