Washington County Extension and Outreach, along with several other partners, held a series of Child Care Professional Meetings over the summer.  In the last 3 months, over 65 people have attended these meetings. The idea of the meetings was to get Child Care Providers, In-Home, and Centers together to talk about the needs they have in our community.  During these meetings, other services were invited to talk about how they can help the Providers and the children they work with. Programs scheduled coming to Washington County are Physical Activity Learning Sessions-PALS in May 2024 and Safe Sleep, Every Sleep, Forever 12 Weeks, and Life of Theo Wolf in April 2024. The next meeting in Washington County will be October 2nd at 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the Washington County Extension Office.  If you have any questions, please contact Andy Miller at 319-653-4811.
