Educare
The mission of Educare is to prepare young children for entering school by enhancing early care and education. Educare supports child care providers by offering free training, technical assistance, site visits, and professional development opportunities to providers, directors and owners of childcare facilities. The logic behind this strategy is the notion that the more education and skills childcare providers have, the healthier the environment for the developing child and the better prepared for entering school they will be.
Over the years we have amassed a significant amount of resources that has served as the Lending Library. Jefferson County Community Partnership will continue to offer these resources to those you would benefit from their use. Please contact Tricia Fromm in the future at 636-464-5144 X11

Accu-Cut Diecutter:This machine makes paper cutouts in various shapes. It is super easy to use, saves your hands from scissors and is cheaper than buying pre-made die cuts! Educare has an extensive collection of dies for making games, cards, nametags, or decorating bulletin boards. The diecut machine will also cut craft foam sheets, flexible magnetic sheets, poster board, and fabric!
We request a $1.00 donation per visit to offset the cost of replacement parts. Bring your own paper or purchase from us!
