A couple of weeks ago some of our team attended an in-person professional learning community convening in Lansing to support members of the Regional Child Care Coalitions (RCCC) initiative hosted by ECIC’s Child Care Innovation Fund.

The convening focused on strengthening municipal engagement strategies and exploring how coalition members can help advance child care-friendly policies in their communities.

Learn more about the Regional Child Care Coalitions for Regions 6 and 9 here: https://www.childcarenetwork.org/regionalchildcare and across the state, here: https://www.ecic4kids.org/regional-planning/

Thank you, Early Childhood Investment Corporation, for a great day of learning and strategizing!
