We must close gaps first by supporting early learning programs already in place to reach our most at risk children. Child Care is an essential and large piece of this puzzle, providing quality early learning opportunities across Minnesota that focus on getting the whole child ready to succeed.Parent Aware, Early Learning Scholarships and the Child Care Assistance Program are the crucial tools Minnesota needs to invest in to reach more child care programs and more children. This legislative session is a key opportunity to invest in what we know works. Below is information, organized by county, of where these programs stand in every county in Minnesota and across our state. Based on this information, we can continue to build the early learning landscape our children and families need to set them on the best path in life.1Minnesota Early Learning 2016Aitkin County Early Learning 2016Anoka County Early Learning 2016Becker County Early Learning 2016Beltrami County Early Learning 2016Benton County Early Learning 2016Big Stone County Early Learning 2016Blue Earth County Early Learning 2016Brown County Early Learning 2016Carlton County Early Learning 2016Carver County Early Learning 2016Cass County Early Learning 2016Chippewa County Early Learning 2016Chisago County Early Learning 2016Clay County Early Learning 2016Clearwater County Early Learning 2016Cook County Early Learning 2016Cottonwood County Early Learning 2016Crow Wing County Early Learning 2016Dakota County Early Learning 2016Dodge County Early Learning 2016Douglas County Early Learning 2016Fairbault County Early Learning 2016Fillmore County Early Learning 2016Freeborn County Early Learning 2016Goodhue County Early Learning 2016Grant County Early Learning 2016Hennepin County Early Learning 2016Houston County Early Learning 2016Hubbarb County Early Learning 2016Isanti County Early Learning 2016Itasca County Early Learning 2016Jackson County Early Learning 2016Kanabec County Early Learning 2016Kandiyohi County Early Learning 2016Kittson County Early Learning 2016Koochiching County Early Learning 2016Lac Qui Parle County Early Learning 2016Lake County Early Learning 2016Lake of the Woods County Early Learning 2016Le Sueur County Early Learning 2016Lincoln County Early Learning 2016Lyon County Early Learning 2016Mahnomen County Early Learning 2016Marshall County Early Learning 2016Martin County Early Learning 2016McLeod County Early Learning 2016Meeker County Early Learning 2016Mille Lacs County Early Learning 2016Morrison County Early Learning 2016Mower County Early Learning 2016Murray County Early Learning 2016Nicollet County Early Learning 2016Nobles County Early Learning 2016Norman County Early Learning 2016Olmsted County Early Learning 2016Otter Tail County Early Learning 2016Pennington County Early Learning 2016Pine County Early Learning 2016Pipestone County Early Learning 2016Polk County Early Learning 2016Pope County Early Learning 2016Ramsey County Early Learning 2016Red Lake County Early Learning 2016Redwood County Early Learning 2016Renville County Early Learning 2016Rice County Early Learning 2016Rock County Early Learning 2016Roseau County Early Learning 2016Scott County Early Learning 2016Sherburne County Early Learning 2016Sibley County Early Learning 2016St Louis County Early Learning 2016Stearns County Early Learning 2016Steele County Early Learning 2016Stevens County Early Learning 2016Swift County Early Learning 2016Todd County Early Learning 2016Traverse County Early Learning 2016Wabasha County Early Learning 2016Wadena County Early Learning 2016Waseca County Early Learning 2016Washington County Early Learning 2016Watonwan County Early Learning 2016Wilkin County Early Learning 2016Winona County Early Learning 2016Wright County Early Learning 2016Yellow Medicine County Early Learning 2016
