The Community Partnerships for Children grant program provides comprehensive, high-quality programs for preschool-aged children and their families with the planning and oversight of a local Early Childhood Advisory Council. Working together, agencies and families in a community or group of communities build a network of programs and services that increases the availability, affordability, and quality of programs that are responsive to the needs of working parents and that enhance children's learning and healthy development. We offer child care scholarships, transportation services, playgroups, parent education, professional development opportunities for caregivers and family fun events.
