The Rockford Early Learning Council was notified on September 30, 2005 by the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Childcren and Families that it had been awarded a federal Early Learning Opportunities Act grant totaling $900,000. The City of Rockford Human Services Department will serve as Administrative Agent for the project. Because the City of Rockford is fortunate to have sufficient early learning programs to serve a large percentage of eligible, at-risk children, the 17 month Rockford Early Learning Project will focus on strengthening the quality of early learning programs, and on helping parents support their young children's learning and development at home. Lead organizations involved in coordinating various aspects of the project include YWCA Child Care Solutions, Janet Wattles Mental Health Center, and La Voz Latina. Project staff will work out of the offices in the Rockford Day Nursery building, located at 2323 South 6th Street.
