Provider Advisory Group
Preschool providers: we are inviting you to apply for our new Provider Advisory Group. The Preschool and Early Learning Division (PEL) is looking for a diverse group of providers to help us plan and recommend program policy. This group includes both PFA Providers (site owners, directors, and administrators) and preschool providers not participating in PFA.
The group will give valuable feedback and suggestions on the PFA program. They will also help PEL meet the needs of preschools across the community.
