County to Host Early Care and Education Initiative Community Forum

Residents are invited to join community leaders for a conversation about the Montgomery County Early Care and Education Initiative (ECEI) from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 25, at the Department of Health and Human Services at 1401 Rockville Pike in Rockville. Attendees will learn about the County’s early care and education priorities and be invited to share their thoughts.

The free forum will provide opportunities to learn about accomplishments and to voice opinions about priorities moving forward. Free childcare will be provided for children six weeks to age eight. Language interpretation will also be available.

The Montgomery County Early Care and Education Initiative was established to coordinate early childhood services and ensure that children are getting what they need to thrive in the early years and to succeed at other stages in life. Research shows access to early learning opportunities for children from birth to five years old is the key to improving school readiness and later school success.
