Here is what we have accomplished so far:

  1. Formation of a Steering Committee and the Stakeholder Groups. These groups contribute to the Consortium through their combined experience and commitment to the child care field.

  2. Completion of the Montgomery County Early Care and Education Needs Assessment and Plan; a report detailing the results of our surveys of parents, school districts, and other community stakeholders. Several key recommendations were presented in this report and the Consortium’s current projects and ongoing goals are centered around a selected number of these recommendations.

  3. Development of this Web site as a means for ongoing communication. We welcome your feedback and contributions. Contact Erin Connolly to share your thoughts.

  4. Gathered information from Kindergarten teachers and child care providers in Norristown about how to best help children prepare for Kindergarten in that school district. Developed a pamphlet about school readiness in conjunction with the Montgomery County Penn State Cooperative Extension and the Norristown Area School District. For a copy of the pamphlet, contact mc4info@melc.org.
