· A Community Early Childhood Council (CECC) addresses the unique needs and strengths of local communities related to early childhood. The Community Early Childhood Council is a vehicle for bringing together many community members to support issues of importance to children and families. KIDS NOW has designated a CECC service area as being no smaller than a county, with counties having the option to partner with other counties to form a Council. · CECCs assure that community participation, designed by the community, is a part of KIDS NOW. CECCs use new and existing relationships within communities to build and sustain supports for early childhood development. Quality improvements are supported by seed money that may be applied for and disbursed by the CECCs. · Contact Annette Bridges at 502-564-8341, or e-mail annette.bridges@education.ky.gov to learn how you may become involved on a CECC or to learn about your local CECC activities.
