Early Childhood Network to be established in M.L.
In an effort to pool resources, advocate for youth causes and child care, and work together as like-minded organizations, an Early Childhood Network is launching in Meadow Lake.
Deb Coupland, executive director of Meadow Lake Early Childhood Services (ECS) is leading the committee, and a meeting will take place on Jan. 9 around 11 a.m. at the Northwest School Division office.
She said the committee is welcoming any agencies or individuals who have an interest in early childhood endeavours, such as literacy, childcare, grant-writing, finances, and family engagement to name a few.
“We want to work together and keep a finger on the pulse of the community,” Coupland said. “We want to look at where there are strengths, where are there gaps, and it’s important to have good communication amongst our agencies so that we’re supporting each other. Also, when we work together in partnership, we can access more funds.”
