DECAL: Childcare in Southwest Georgia

 
Jill Taylor (left) and Shayna Funk will present our program on Thursday, May 1. 

Jill is director of community partnerships and 2Gen Outreach for the Quality Innovations and Partnerships Division at Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL). Shayna is director of research partnerships and business supports at DECAL. The two have been instrumental to expanding access to child care during nontraditional hours for families across Georgia through the development and rollout of Expanding Parents’ Access to Nontraditional Delivery (EXPAND) grants.

These grants, including one received by Thomasville, are providing $6.5 million for expanded day care hours across the state, and Jill and Shayna will discuss the program. 

Thursday, May 1
