A big thank you to Evans Early Childhood Center and Julia Brink our chair of the Committee for Apprenticeship in New & Emerging Industries (CANEI) for hosting today's State Apprenticeship Council Meeting! The council got to tour EECC and see where Child Care Development Specialist Apprentices with Red Rocks Community College come for their on-the-job learning. The EECC is a pioneer in Colorado in offering Farm to Early Childhood Education and is teaching nutrition and outdoor education to children very early in their lives.
