Kentucky Family Guide
Kentucky has revised Early Childhood Standards for professionals and a new Family Guide to go along with them. In this session, families will learn how they too can use the standards while interacting with their children at home. Parents are the first and most important teachers children have and we want to enhance the opportunities families have to prepare their children for kindergarten.
Tips for Parents Managing Stress
Learning to manage stress can give you the patience, energy and perspective to be the parent you want to be. And it will pay dividends for your health and ability to function well. In this session we will learn healthy tips for stress management!
We have work to do.
Kentucky ranks 40th in overall child well-being, with affordability and accessibility of childcare impacting families and the economy.
~ 62% of parents have been on waitlists for child care
~ Half of Kentuckians live in a child care desert, where there are either no providers or insufficient spots.
~ Kentucky has lost over 1,700 child care providers in the past decade.
The cost of inaction is too high
Support CCC
Without the right support, families struggle, caregivers burn out, and children fall behind. Businesses suffer, and communities lose the potential of their youngest citizens. We can change that—together.
