The public is invited to offer input for a new federal funding opportunity to improve Nebraska’s existing early childhood infrastructure.
The competitive federal grant would enable Nebraska to update its early childhood needs assessment and implement a strategic plan to promote collaboration and coordination among the state’s early childhood care and education programs. Doing so would bring greater efficiency and coordination of systems addressing the developmental needs of our state’s young children wherever they are being cared for—in infant/toddler programs, child care centers, family child care homes or other settings.
The input session, co-sponsored by the Nebraska Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, will be Thursday, October 4, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The session will be hosted online in Lincoln and will be accessible to participants in eight additional locations.
