AT LEAST 60% OF THESE CHILDREN RECEIVED CHILDCARE SUBSIDIES. THE PROGRAM CONTINUED TO DEVELOP THEIR MODEL AND SHOWCASE THEIR TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES. THE MODEL WAS HIGHLIGHTED IN SEVERAL MEDIA PIECES. WE HOSTED SEVERAL VISITORS FROM THE STATE SEEKING MORE KNOWLEDGE ON OUR UNIQUE MODEL FOR EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION.
