We need parents who value ECFE, District 622 Preschool and other early learning programs, and who are willing to share their energy, ideas and suggestions with our Early Childhood and Family Program staff. It is also a great way to learn more about school district programs and make personal connections with other families. 11 Early Childhood Advisory Council meetings are scheduled monthly at Gladstone Center. No previous experience is necessary—everyone has something to offer. We are very informal. Complimentary child care is provided. Come join us! We value your support and input. At every meeting you attend, you will receive “ECFE Bucks” good toward program fees. 10
