[ELmaine] Pathways to Partnerships

[Madore, Nicole]

Good morning,
Please read below for an upcoming opportunity.
Pathways to Partnerships: Technical Assistance and Mini-Grant Opportunity for Early Care and Education Communities - Info Session 9/19 - Maine DOE Newsroom<https://mainedoenews.net/2024/09/11/pathways-to-partnerships-technical-assistance-and-mini-grant-opportunity-for-early-care-and-education-communities-info-session-9-19/>

When early care and education providers, such as child care, Head Start, schools, YMCAs, and libraries, get to know the work each does to support children and families during the early years, partnerships can emerge to achieve shared, positive outcomes. These partnerships can vary in their design and in their intended purposes, depending on the context and needs of the community. The Maine Department of Education's Pathways to Partnership series is designed to help communities answer tough questions and build relationships among early care and education providers to benefit young children and their families.

The series will include facilitated and focused planning time for team members. Upon completion of the series, a mini-grant opportunity will be available for communities to secure additional facilitated support to continue the work started during the series.  Each 90-minute session in the series will be held over zoom on the following dates. The exact time will be determined after registration information has been reviewed.:

  *   Thursday, October 17th
  *   Thursday, November 7th
  *   Thursday, December 5th
  *   Thursday, January 16th
