Each year, the Community Early Childhood Councils (CECC) convene to network, share best practices and consider the future of early childhood development in Kentucky. This year’s Annual Institute is being organized by the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood and will focus on the important role the Councils play to help ensure that all Kentucky children are ready to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
This year’s Institute, themed Engaging Parents, Families and Communities, will be May 22-23 at General Butler State Resort Park in Carrollton. The Institute will focus on providing training and technical assistance and informational sessions designed to highlight potential activities for councils for the coming year and beyond. Registration to the Institute is free and attendees need pay only for lodging and meals.
