Anoka-Hennepin Schools Child Care Collaborative is here to help! What past Child Care Collaborative partners have said: “ ...I appreciate everything you helped me with to better my child care program. You gave me the tools I needed to make it fun for the kids to learn... ” “ …an excellent resource and so supportive. I’ve implemented many great things into my program such as a calming corner and establishing a writing center.” “It has been a very good experience and my child care program is better because of the input I have received.” “You really helped our classroom come together as a more cohesive unit, and really showed us effective techniques that we now employ in our classroom. We couldn’t have done it without you!” Anoka-Hennepin Schools CHILD CARE COLLABORATIVE If you or someone you know provides child care for young children, consider participating in the Anoka-Hennepin Schools Child Care Collaborative.
