Planning for Early Care and Education Planning for Early Care and Education: Siting Considerations to Promote Environmental Health
The American Planning Association (APA) in collaboration with National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) and Region II Head Start has created an education module, Planning for Early Care and Education: Siting Considerations to Promote Environmental Health. The module was created to educate planners about the role of siting Early Care and Education (ECE) programs to promote children’s environmental health. It is available in a pdf format as well as more interactive StoryMap format. Please use this education module and give feedback by completing the evaluation at the bottom of the StoryMap format. APA will use that feedback to improve the module. If you are interested and want more information, please contact david.cuervo@dshs.texas.gov.
