Community Partnership

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMMING

Funded by HB1519, the State Department of Social Services EduCARE contract, and local grants, our Early Childhood Department focuses on children ages birth to five. This seven-person department assists childcare providers in becoming licensed and accredited, and works to increase the number of infant/toddler slots available. Staff provides resources for parents to encourage early brain development in their children, and promotes school readiness by strengthening the abilities of childcare providers in Greene and Christian County to offer developmentally appropriate early care and education activities.

Community & Capacity Building

At the heart of the Partnership is the belief that facilitating positive change, while building the capacity of organizations, agencies and individuals, will lead to long-term measurable outcomes. Community and capacity building is about using ideas and resources in new ways to strengthen communities and the residents that live there. As good stewards of our ever shrinking federal, state and local resources, we recognize that community and capacity building is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Alcohol, Drug & Violence Prevention

The Partnership's roots lie in violence prevention and efforts to reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse. These problems evolved over decades, and changes in attitudes and behaviors do not happen quickly. Yet, our local and regional programming has made a difference.
