WHAT ARE THE ELC's?
 
Free resources and training in your neighborhood to help you provide the best possible care for your children. These services are made local to you through the Great Start Regional Resource Center, United Way’s Early Learning Communities (ELC).

Whether you are a grandmother, aunt, neighbor, parent or professional childcare provider, you are eligible to take advantage of these addi- tional resources to help you make sure that the children in your care start school prepared and ready to learn. Your local ELC is managed by a neighborhood organization that is generally already providing services to the community, convenient and staffed to assist.

PROVIDER NETWORK MEETINGS
 
Provider Network Meetings are a time designed for area child care provider to get together and discuss issues and challenges that they may be facing in their child care environment. As child care providers, adult interactions are limited, so this is a time for providers to talk to one another and share ideas. 
 
It is important that you RSVP by calling 586-759-3895 or on the earlylearningcommunities.ning.com website.  Provider Network Meetings may be cancelled due to low attendance.

For a schedule of upcoming PN meetings, please download the ELC January Class Schedule.
