For Parents & Families
Family Engagement and Knowledge (Coming Soon)
Through this grant, the State’s goal is to ensure that families have increased knowledge to advocate and make informed decisions for their children’s well-being and that children have access to early childhood services and experience successful transitions across early childhood care and education settings into kindergarten and the early grades.
For Educators & Providers
Workforce Supports and Quality Improvement
Another of the State’s goals is to establish systems for all providers of all settings to share best practices and for a cycle of continuous improvement across agencies, programs, and services to become institutionalized for the benefit of all children and their families, including the most vulnerable.
