Join SHIP and Growing Community Connections for an in-person Child Care Provider Gallery Walk on July 23rd or August 1st at Western Iowa Tech Community College! This will be an opportunity for child care providers to come and share some of the strengths and gaps in our communities facing child care. 

Providers will receive 2 hours of training credit for attending approved by Iowa and Nebraska. There will also be coffee and sweets, door prizes, and gifts for attending. 

This is for all child care providers! Directors, please share with your staff!

Every four years SHIP undergoes the designation process to continue to be the designated ECI Area Board for early childhood dollars to support children 0-5 in all communities in Ida and Woodbury Counties.  

Community input is vital to the Community Needs Assessment and Community Plan process.
