Local Early Childhood Advisory Council needs community reps

GREENVILLE – If you interested in early childhood education issues we ask that you consider becoming a community representative and share your voice to help shape an innovative and positive future of our young children. The Council on Rural Services programs for innovative learning is a local early childhood education provider and interested community people are needed 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 Darke County please call (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 a.m. to 12 noon with lunch following the meeting.

YOU can play an important role in your community and our children’s future!

Council on Rural Services provides education, support, and volunteer services through programs such as Kids Learning Place™, Head Start, Early Head Start, Gateway Youth Programs, Achievement Center for Educational Success, and RSVP in their nine county service area, check the web at www.councilonruralservices.org for more information.
