Early Childhood Connector Newsletter

Sign up to receive communications from the Early Childhood Connector Newsletter. The newsletter highlights resources, supports and updates on child care and early education from the Minnesota Children’s Cabinet and Departments of Education, Health, Human Services, and Children, Youth, and Families. Content will be tailored to licensed and nonlicensed child care, Head Start and prekindergarten programs. In addition to the Early Childhood Connector Newsletter, occasional updates will be sent.   

Early Childhood Connector Calls

On a quarterly basis, the state hosts Connector Calls with early educators to answer questions related to legislation, licensing, programs, grants and more. The purpose of the call is to answer clarifying questions that providers may have. Calls are hosted online on WebEx, and providers attending the call will not be able to ask questions live. Calls are recorded and available on this webpage. 

Questions must be submitted two weeks before the provider call to be answered. State staff will try to answer all questions but may not have time to get to all of them.
