Access to early childhood education and childcare resources can be a major challenge for local families and businesses. In 2020, we received a grant from the Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children (IAEYC) to put together an early learning advisory committee (ELAC), needs assessment and strategic action plan to start the important work of building capacity in this critical area. That plan is now available below, and we are excited to get started on shoring up this regional challenge for the communities we serve, alongside our strategic partners. As always, we welcome your thoughts and insights on this project and the plan:
Take our Regional Housing Needs Survey
We hope that you can take this short survey (approximately 10 minutes) to help inform our assessment, but perhaps more importantly we would like to request that you share this survey broadly with your network in the West Central Mountains. Your responses are anonymous and will be analyzed by a third-party consultant. There is also a Spanish version available as well. The survey will remain open through February 19th.
