Everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
did a previous mailing of this to people in my data base that I felt might want
to attend this meeting. I did not have the complete list of
Directors. After talking with Lorraine I was able to access this
Directors listing. I hope some of you can attend. I do know
that a few of the Madison County Directors are going to Glenda’s Meeting
tomorrow in Syracuse. This was a request made by Evelyn Efinger at
the Early Care & Learning Council (AKA the NYSCCCC).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>New
York State is currently creating Early Learning Guidelines for Infants,
Toddlers and Threes. The Region 3 Infant Toddler Network has been asked to hold
Focus Groups to obtain feedback from people working with children, infants
through threes, with respect to early learning guidelines. We'd like to
get a wide range of feedback, including daycare center staff, family and group
family providers, day care center directors, early intervention
specialists/therapists, trainers that provide training to providers, Early Head
Start, professors that educate about early childhood education, etc.
Attached is an invitation for the Focus Groups. Could you please send
this on to anyone that works with children or providers in the field?
When doing so, if you can CC me on the email, I will know who to send future
invitations to. Thank you for your time.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
