The community of Gibbon was recently selected to be a part of the Communities for Kids (C4K) initiative with Early Futures Partnership. C4K is a multi-year planning and implementation initiative that was created in response to community requests for assistance with shortages of quality early care and education programs — shortages that both impact children’s optimal development and pose a challenge for communities hoping to attract and retain the viable workforce they need to thrive. The initiative is dedicated to ensuring that communities, primarily rural areas, can grow and prosper by strengthening and sustaining a quality early childhood care and education infrastructure.
