Our region's child care coalition Coastal ACCESS (Success By 6 is a Coastal ACCESS member) just released our new report Six Years of Improvements in Quality Early Care and Education in Mid Coast Maine.  This report highlights the exciting changes accomplished in our region over the past six years, thanks to three Early Learning Opportunity Act grants from the Child Care Bureau, U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, totaling over $2.3 million.  

 

You can download the Executive Summary or the Full Report to read more about the key strategies, local results, lasting changes both locally and beyond our region, and profiles of six early childhood programs that took advantage of the many opportunities available due to these grants and the collaboration that made this work possible.

 

Coastal ACCESS partners are proud that we are one of only four local councils throughout the United States to receive three federal Early Learning Opportunities Act grants!

 

Coastal ACCESS thanks its many partners, county and municipal governments for their support, and the Children's Bureau in Washington, D. C. for its grant award!
