🚗 Cmr. Kershaw was on the road in August, visiting communities across MA from Leverett and Worcester to Winthrop.

Through our investments in programs like C3 and grants like EEOST and CFCE, we're working towards equity and access in early education and care for all families.

EEC's Coordinated Family and Community Engagement grant supports activities and resources to promote parent education and family engagement, address early literacy and child development, and more.

Commissioner Kershaw talked about the impact of this grant last week in Leverett📚

[MA Dept of Early Education and Care @MassEarlyEdCare]

"These grants...ensure that our youngest students have access to services that support their well-being, optimal development & school readiness, while also strengthening the capacity of families & parents as their child’s first teacher." - @MassEducation https://t.co/aNshqwqhDf

The continued funding for our Union 28 Community Network for Children program and other programs funded by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, Coordinated Family and Community Engagement grant, is essential for families in our communities.

For Samantha and her kids Olson, Abel, and Etta, the child development network in Leverett is “a really big part of [their] lives.” The Healey-Driscoll admin awarded $15.5M to programs that coordinate development and engagement for families across MA.
