A combined foster parent training and preschool education program for developmentally delayed and emotionally disturbed children is described. This program was organized and run by a multidisciplinary group of independent professionals, who served as a liaison with a foster care agency. The goals of preventing placement breakdown by giving early attention to problems, and of improving foster parents' abilities to manage difficult children were met at modest cost to the agency. The model can be replicated in other communities to improve the quality of foster care provided to young children.
