We're starting a new inititative, where we bring together component specialists or staff with specific intererests for ongoing community discussion and training. Our first (and our guinea pig!) will be Family Support specialists, so October 24 will be a special one-day meeting for folks in those sorts of jobs to get together and learn from each other and plan future training and collaboration.
We have a lot going on in both Olympia and DC that affect all our programs and parents, and you'll get the latest and be able to provide some meaningful help to the new Department of Children Youth and Families as we move forward on many exciting initiatives, including new licensing requirements, ECEAP expansion, and the potential for a new Early ECEAP 0-3 program and universal pre-k for families beyond ECEAP eligibility level.
