Notes
Community Partnerships for Children are programs that help low-income families pay for preschool programs for their children. The CPC programs have five goals:
-to help low-income families pay for preschool
-to get families, businesses, and community organizations involved in early childhood care and education
-to give support services to preschool children and their families (for example, parenting education, referrals, and health and nutrition services)
-to make sure that preschool teachers and caregivers are well-trained and licensed
-to reach out to families who might not plan to send their children to preschool
The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) funds the CPC programs. Community organizations apply for grants to start Community Partnership programs in their communities. Depending on where you live, your CPC program may be run by your local public school department, community action council, or other community organization interested in early childhood programs.
