We all have heard how great the need is for affordable child care across the state. Governor Laura Kelly announced yesterday that the Early Childhood Transition Task Force will embark on a statewide community engagement tour to discuss the challenges communities face in supporting children through their earliest years.
The task force will visit nine cities across the state to discuss successes and challenges affecting the early childhood sectors in each community. These meetings are open to the public. Families, service and care providers, community leaders, and business representatives are encouraged to attend. Participants will engage in facilitated discussions designed to generate feedback on how the state is administering early childhood programs and how Kansans interact with the state’s governance system.
The first meeting is in Chanute on June 27th at 9:00 in the morning. There are meetings in Manhattan and Topeka on the 29th and in Overland Park and Kansas City ty on the 30th.
