We believe that every child deserves the opportunity for a promising life. By working together we can ensure that they each have a strong start. By empowering families, providers, and the community, through knowledge, our children will succeed. The Kentucky Governor's Office of Early Childhood and the Early Childhood Advisory Council, work closely with Community Early Childhood Councils across the Commonwealth to ensure a strong start for our children on a local level. Community Early Childhood Councils are comprised of community volunteers from local school districts, public health departments, childcare providers, Head Start, local libraries, parents and interest groups in many other areas.
