COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT UPDATES

Get Out the Vote!
Voter Registration Deadline: October 9th

The November 6 election is around the corner. Early Care and School Age programs can play a critical role in getting their staff and parents out to vote. Voting is a great activity for the children and a wonderful way to engage your parents. The Delaware Valley Association for the Eduction of Young Children (DVAEYC) has lots of resources to help you:

1. Be an informed voter — look into candidates’ positions on issues important to you and your program. Check out their guide to finding candidates’ websites.

2. Make sure your staff, colleagues and families are registered to vote. The deadline is October 9th. Download the Pennsylvania Voter Registration Form.

3. Check out the fact sheet for the new Voter ID Law. Make sure all of your staff members and parents have a valid ID. Learn more about voter registration and voter ID laws in Pennsylvania, or call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
