Register now for the KELC First Annual Conference, "Building Connections for Kansas Children and Families" on November 13th in Salina, KS.
KELC is a collaborative of six early learning organizations, the Kansas Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (KACCRRA), the Kansas Association of Infant Mental Health (KAIMH), the Kansas Children’s Service League (KCSL), the Kansas Division of Early Childhood (KDEC), the Kansas Head Start Association (KHSA), and the Kansas Parents as Teachers Association (KPATA), that formed to support pregnant women, children and families by providing a seamless continuum of high-quality local services throughout the state in 12 focus communities in Kansas. The 12 KELC counties are: Crawford, Cherokee, Ellis, Finney, Ford, Harvey, Johnson, Leavenworth, Montgomery, Saline, Shawnee and Wyandotte.
KELC received Early Childhood Block Grant (ECBG) funding from the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund in 2009. Each of the KELC organizations provides evidence based services to young children and families.
A key part of KELC’s work is to provide support and technical assistance to the 12 KELC counties in assessing and increasing their ability to work collaboratively together to integrate and enhance early childhood and family services.
