Broomfield’s Health and Human Services Department is presenting its second annual Childcare Summit Saturday, Oct. 19 from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Chateaux at Fox Meadows, 13600 Xavier Lane in Broomfield.
Those attending the Summit will look at childcare in the community and hear presenters cover a broad spectrum of disciplines, resources and agencies available to parents, in-home and center-based care providers and related professionals interested in addressing childcare in Broomfield.
The information presented in the day-long event is directed at providing support and training for childcare providers with the goal of building collaborative partnerships that will meet childcare needs in Broomfield.
The Summit is free to Broomfield residents. Other participants will be charged a $20 registration fee.
The day begins at 7:30 with a continental breakfast and welcome from Karen Beye, director of the Health and Human Services Department in Broomfield. A session from 8 to 9 a.m. will teach attendees how to recognize child abuse. Grants and funding resources are next, presented by Scott Raun and Dana Andrews from the Colorado State Department of Human Services Division of Childcare.
A question-and-answer period with the Public Health Division entitled "Your child, health and environmental issues" is scheduled from 10 to 11 a.m., followed by "Understanding the special needs population." Lunchtime will be highlighted by Marjorie Hunn, storyteller.
Afternoon sessions include "Stressed out? Relax, rejuvenate and rejoice," and "Fun with projects" with Girl Scout troop 310.
