ECE Workgroup  (Birth to 5 years old)
 

The CPC Early Care and Education (ECE) Work Group focuses on issues impacting children birth to five and their families. The ECE Monthly WorkGroup enables Early Care providers to network, develops/shares strategies to promote the importance of pre-school screenings, and offers monthly programs to increase education and collaborations.

The Early Care and Education Work Group meets the first Wednesday of the month via ZOOM from 9:30 - 10:30 am.  (We anticipate returning to in- person meetings soon.)

Each month features an issue or organization’s services and resources to build the capacity of the members to better serve our youngest  citizens. To be added to the e-mail distribution list for the ECE Work Group email and receive the ZOOM link for monthly meetings: mizes@jccal.org.
