There are many options for implementation. Each early childhood program & LEA is unique. Therefore, one size does not fill all. In order to provide the right level of support for each program & LEA, SPEC facilitators will provide a no cost on-site or remote needs assessment. This needs assessment will provide administration with options to begin the implementation process. We also recognize that each program & LEA has resource limitations. Our experienced team of professionals can help explore a variety of ways to support funding; which may include submission of applications for grant funds.
