EduCARE
Funded by the State Department of Social Services since 1995, EduCARE became a part of Community Partnership in 2003. The EduCARE mission is to promote school readiness so that all children are prepared to succeed in school and life. We do this by supporting home and center- based child care providers in Greene and Christian Counties.
Our free services include: onsite training visits, phone consultation, fun workshops tailored to the program’s needs, a monthly provider supper club for unlicensed (registered vendor) homes, a toy and equipment lending library, themed learning bags for the children to play with, and a monthly newsletter. Our first priority is to serve child care providers caring for children birth – 3 years old whose families are receiving DSS child care subsidies.
