The Pike County Childcare Task Force is hosting “Provider-Palooza” on Tuesday, March 10th. The event is open to all childcare providers throughout the area to show appreciation and offer those in the field an opportunity to connect. Quality childcare is an essential need in communities so there will also be plenty of information for anyone looking to enter the childcare field. Provider-palooza features refreshments, appreciation gifts, and, of course, plenty of resource materials. Information on the pathways into childcare, including licensing and other supports will also be provided at Provider-Palooza Tuesday at the John Wood Community College Pittsfield campus from 6-8 PM.
