About Us

At ICOC, families are the foundation leading to the success of a child’s health and wellbeing.  We recognize that families are essential to promote inclusion and improve quality of life.  We utilize the core concepts of Family-Centered Care (FCC) with every interaction.  These core concepts include:

  • Dignity and Respect: Honoring the perspective of families and their choices which are based on culture, values and beliefs.
  • Information Sharing: Keeping open lines of communication to effectively engage families in decision making.
  • Participation: Encouraging families to engage in the care of their child.  This will be at the level they choose and are most comfortable with.
  • Collaboration: Collaborating with families, service providers and the community to provide opportunities for appropriate decisions to best meet the needs, strengths, values and abilities of the child and the family.

One of the key tenets in engaging with families is to understand the caregiver’s health and wellbeing.  At ICOC, embracing true Family-Centered Care include the integration of perinatal mental health and addressing emotional regulation and mental health of the caregiver with early childhood services. We support parents in identifying their strengths and areas that need support to best care for their child.

We proudly announce that ICOC is a member of the San Bernardino Learning Community for Building Healing Organizations.  As an agency, all staff apply six core concepts to support the practice of Trauma Informed Care (TIC).

  • Understanding trauma and stress
  • Creating safety and stability
  • Understanding and applying cultural humility and equity
  • Promoting compassion and dependability
  • Collaborating and empowering families
  • Promoting resilience and recovery
