“We want to hear from you!”

That’s the message from the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) which is hosting a Community Learning Tour, a series of community meetings across the state.

The goal: “help us create a road map for EEC’s work in the years to come!”

The first session is today at 3 p.m. in EEC’s Taunton office, at 1 Washington St., Suite 20.

EEC Commissioner Sam Aigner-Treworgy wants your input to help her department craft “a plan for Massachusetts in which all children develop as lifelong learners and contributing members of the community, and all families are supported in their essential work as parents and caregivers.”

Your feedback will help EEC craft policies that best meet the needs of the early education field and the needs of the children and families it serves.

Here’s the schedule for the upcoming sessions:

Metro Boston: October 29, 2019 5:30 to 7:30 PM at EEC’s Quincy Office
Northeast: November 13, 2019 5:30 to 7:30 PM at EEC’s Lawrence Office
Western: November 14, 2019 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the Community Foundation of Western MA
Central: November 18, 2019 5:30 to 7:30 PM at EEC’s Worcester Office
Boston: November 19, 2019 2:00 to 4:00 PM at EEC’s Boston Office
