Abstract
Early childhood socialization has been connected to positive outcomes for children's behavioral, physical and mental health as they reach school age. Particularly, social-emotional development for pre-kindergarten children is positively impacted by opportunities for peer interactions, including daycares, community events, and parent child programming. The North Country region of New York is considered the most rural region in the state, where children and families are burdened by cost, accessibility, and transportation barriers when seeking peer learning opportunities. This study addresses accessibility and cost determinants through primary care intervention in at risk children.
