The Training, Resource, & Advocacy Connector (TRAC) has awarded more than $210,000 to early care and learning (ECL) providers in eight East Central Indiana counties.

The TRAC team has completed its Strategic Plan that outlines the need for investment in Early Care and Learning (ECL) in ECI. As the B-5 coalition and the TRAC team worked through this process, it became evident that skilling up our providers and viewing them as professionals is key to sustaining the ECL workforce in ECI.

Accelerate Rural Indiana (ARI), which includes Rushville and Rush County, will receive $30 million from the state in READI 2.0 funds. Learn more about the ARI READI 2.0 plan in our newsletter.
