Southwest KY Community Early Childhood Council (CCEC)

The Vision for Kentucky is that all young children in Kentucky are healthy and safe, possess the foundation that will enable school and personal success, and live in strong families that are supported and strengthened within their communities.

Community Early Childhood Councils were created as part of Governor Paul E. Patton's Early Childhood Initiative, KIDS NOW House Bill 706.

The primary goal of all Community Early Childhood Councils (CECCs) is to build innovative, collaborative partnerships that promote school readiness for children and families.

The Southwest KY Community Early Childhood Council includes representatives from the Christian, Todd and Trigg school districts, Health Department, Child Care providers, Head Start, Library, Child Care Resource and Referral, Early Intervention, Government and other interested parties.   For more information contact Tracey Shifflett.
