Nevada City, CA (October 28, 2019) – Individuals and organizations can have a say in improving early childhood development in Nevada County by attending this month’s Community Support Network Partner Meeting.
Evaluation consultant Lindsay Bellows will conduct a focus group for First 5 Nevada County to learn about the needs of young children and their families, any gaps and overlaps in currently-available services, and the functioning of the systems which support families locally. First 5 Nevada County is in the process of evaluating the needs of young children in Nevada County to inform their strategic plan which will be updated in the spring.
First 5 Nevada County partners with the community and local organizations to support programs that promote health, wellness, and child development for children ages 0 to 5 and their parents. First 5 Nevada County has invested over $9.5 million dollars to improve early childhood development over the past 20 years with four main initiatives: early learning, family strengthening, communication and outreach, and capacity building and systems change.
The meeting will be Wednesday, November 6, 3:30-5:00 p.m. in the Gene Albaugh Community Room at the Madelyn Helling Library, 980 Helling Way, in Nevada City. Community Support Network meetings are free and open to the public.
