New Service Available for Early Childhood |
ROE 48 is adding a new service for early childhood. We have been awarded a prenatal to age 3 home visiting program from the Illinois State Board of Education.
This program will provide child development and family support services for expectant parents and families with children from birth to age 3 to help them build a strong foundation for learning and to prepare children for later school success. Families that enroll in this program will automatically qualify for our preschool program when their child turns age 3.
This new program will serve families in the city of Peoria. We are currently looking for qualified staff to help support this program. Applicants should have a bachelor's degree, but those with an associate degree and the right experience will also be considered.
ROE 48 is also beginning to recruit families to join this new and exciting program. Both interested job applicants and families wishing to enroll should contact Anna Hansard at ahansard@peoriaroe.org.
