Meet or stay below the state average

Reduce by 2% each year

Adair County does not have a full time local DHS office.  Therefore, linking families to prevention programs is essential.  These include but not limited to home visitor programs, mental health services, and AEA services. There has been more awareness about child abuse due to CPPC and having a fulltime AmeriCorps member.

Increase number of providers by 10% by 2009

There was an increase in registered child development homes.  This could be due to “networking” among a few key child care providers along with the support of Empowerment and CCRR.

To maintain slots equivalent to the number of 3 and 4 year old children

Adair County has 135 children ages 3-4 (2008 Woods & Poole).  This is an indicator of the approximate number of preschool aged children. The number of slots includes 2 preschools (West Central and Adair Casey) that children attend but the preschools are not located in Adair County; therefore the number may appear skewed.
