GREENVILLE — The Council on Rural Services…programs for innovative learning, your local early childhood education provider for Head Start and Early Head Start, needs interested community representatives to join the early childhood advisory council.
This group has the task of reviewing program design for quality standards that result in improved outcomes for young children from birth through age 5. The advisory council is made up of program parents as well as members of the community. They review grants, participate in program evaluations, provide insight into local needs, and serve as a liaison to the community in sharing the value and necessity of early education services. As a member of this early childhood advisory council, you will also influence continued services of health, nutrition and parent involvement; all of which increase a child’s readiness for school.
