LEARN

The Regional Key provides funds to local communities to form Local Education and Resource Networks (referred to as LEARN). The groups are working in each of the 20 counties served by the Central Regional Key. Some of the goals of these groups are:

• 1.  To effectively communicate with and engage families:

 a.) Assist families to act as their child's first educator, with information about child development and appropriate early learning activities, aligned with the early learning standards;

 b.) Help families make good early learning choices for their children, while building family demand for quality early education; and

 c.) Support families to take action on behalf of their children

•  2. To provide support to families with a child transitioning into an early learning setting or those with children entering kindergarten
•  3. To act as a resource for early childhood education to promote ODCEL programs, such as Keystone STARS, through activities such as early learning events, early learning activities and/or other programs within a community which focus on quality early education programs and access to early learning opportunities
