Great Bend - Community Engagement Session
How can we give all Kansas kids the best start in life? Kansas leaders want to hear from YOU! Join us for a Community Engagement Session to share what you need and want from your early care and education system. Your community’s voice on what to do more and less of to support Kansas children and families is critical to ensuring Kansas is the best place to raise a child. Parents (of infants, toddlers, and young children), community leaders, health providers, early childhood providers, members of the business community, elected officials, and other interested parties are all encouraged to participate in these community conversations. (These session are also family friendly - children are welcome!) During these 1-hour sessions, attendees will be asked to share thoughts about: - What is happening in your community to support infants, toddlers, young children, and families that we should celebrate and grow? - What areas are challenging and need more support and/or attention? - How would you guide a family to resources and services in your community? - What are your family’s experiences? We will also have a table set up to collect individual stories of families through the Our Tomorrows project (http://bit.ly/JoinOurTomorrows) at each session. We’re holding meetings like this across the state over the next couple of months to help get a better understanding about what is happening in communities around the state, what we should grow, and where there are additional needs.
