Sonoma County CARES offers new Track V Option on Leadership

The Sonoma CARES program participants in Track V now have two additional participation options. Track V-B participants help participants in other Tracks increase their skills in evaluating their programs while completing the Environment Rating Scale Score Sheet and the Rating Scale Improvement Plan. Track V-C participants are leaders who become actively involved in policy decisions that impact the ECE community and thereby, address issues facing preschool and after school programs in Sonoma County.
