The League of Women Voters of Leelanau County is presenting an April 8 forum on early childhood services in Leelanau County, titled “Supporting Leelanau’s Youngest Residents: What’s Available, on the Way and Envisioned” at noon in the lowerlevel community room of the Leelanau County Government Center.
The forum will focus on what is available for young children and their parents in Leelanau County, as well as what is envisioned. It will feature a meeting facilitator and three presenters. The meeting facilitator and one of the presenters are both members of the League of Women Voters of Leelanau County.
Hannah Grinage, Parenting Communities Supervisor at the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department, begins the forum with a presentation on Parenting Communities, a program funded by Leelanau’s Early Childhood millage and operated by the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department. Parenting Communities provides families of children from birth through age 6 with supportive countywide services, such as developmental screenings, play groups, and home visits, designed to promote nurturing, stable, and healthy families in the Leelanau community.
