About Community Engagement Groups
Each Regional Key provides funds to local communities to form Early Childhood Community Engagement Groups (sometimes referred to as the CEG). The groups are working in each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. Some of the goals of these groups are:
- To develop and implement a community outreach plan to educate and foster relationships with parents, government, businesses, schools, and the early learning community about issues in early learning such as Pennsylvania's Promise for Children, Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, Keystone STARS and Child Care Works.
- To be the county point of contact for Pennsylvania's Promise for Children materials.
- To facilitate linkages between school districts, early learning practitioners, and other community stakeholders for the purpose of developing a community action plan to support successful kindergarten transitions.
- To create and distribute a Report Card to the Community detailing the activities, goals, and outcomes of the CEG.
- To appropriately leverage resources and support in the community.
- To work with the Regional Key to implement the Regional Plan that has been created by the Key.
