Introduction

Thank you for your willingness to serve as a regional networking group leader!

To help with your role, this set of tabs includes information and resources. Staff from DCYF and MDE provide support to regional leaders.

Regional Networking Groups - EARLY CHILDHOOD ADMINISTRATORS

Introduction

According to a MDE survey of early childhood coordinators, the best resource for information, guidance, and support is other coordinators. In short, regional groups are designed for early childhood coordinators to connect with, learn from, and support each other.
