Early Learning Collaboratives
Eastern Idaho
An early learning collaborative is the group in one Idaho town that plans together: the school, the child care providers, the library, the clinic, local employers, and parents. Idaho AEYC supports 26 of them. Find yours on the map or in the list.

Local plans and needs assessments
Collaboratives that published a plan or an assessment show what one community decided to do about early learning with the resources it had. They are the most useful starting point for anyone building a new one.

No collaborative in your town yet
Idaho AEYC helps communities build their own. The ones that hold together start with a local needs assessment and a written plan rather than with a standing meeting, and there are published examples above to work from.
