The Cedar County Empowerment Board announced
that child care providers in Cedar County are
eligible
for scholarships to pay for professional education.
The Empowerment Board administers state funds
for programs for children 0-5 years of age.
The Iowa
legislature earmarked special funds for education
for
child care providers. Applicants need to
complete a
one-page application available to your left under
Application
or at the public health office in the courthouse.
The
applications will be presented to the Board for
approval
or disapproval at their next monthly meeting.
If approved,
providers will be reimbursed for tuition
after providing
documentation of attendance and payment.
Programs
must be appropriate, applicable to child care
and
obtained from either a community college
or an AEA.
The Empowerment Board can be contacted at PO
Box 23,
the coordinator, Rick Fleshin, at 563-886-2226.
