Cedar County Early Childhood Iowa Board provides leadership and support needed to implement a comprehensive effort to assess, plan, and deliver services to improve the lives of young children.  The board works with existing and new community resources to serve young children and their families. Our goal is to improve the child’s physical and mental health, to provide a better environment for learning and growth, and to increase/improve parenting skills.

 

The foremost goal of our empowerment area is to  increase the physical and mental health of our children 0 to 5, by aiding in development of services for the child, the parents and the caregivers. Our focus is to support and fund programs that will meet the needs we have prioritized; but to also be open to new and innovative projects.
