Local Early Childhood Advisory Council Asking For Community Reps 

PIQUA – Are you interested in early childhood education issues?  Please share your voice in an opportunity to help shape an innovative and positive future of our young children.  Call today and be part of the solution. The Council on Rural Services… programs for innovative learning, a local early childhood education provider in Darke County, needs interested community representatives to join the early childhood advisory council. 

This group has the task of reviewing program design for quality standards that result in improved outcomes for young children from birth through age 5. The advisory council is made up of program parents as well as members of the community.  They review grants, participate in program evaluations, provide insight into local needs, and serve as a liaison to the community in sharing the value and necessity of early education services. As a member of this early childhood advisory council, you will also influence continued services of health, nutrition and parent involvement; all of which increase a child’s readiness for school. 

If you live or work in any of the following counties (Auglaize, Champaign, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Preble, Shelby, and Van Wert) served by the Council on Rural Services early childhood programs, please call 1.866.627.4557 and talk with Rose about an application. Monthly meetings are held at A Learning Place in Piqua, the second Tuesday of each month, from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon with lunch following the meeting.

We would like you help play an important role in your community and our children’s future!
