EDUCATION Education is a critical investment in our future. Education is teaching, guiding, supporting, encouraging and acknowledging all children, youth and adults, regardless of their economic and social status, ethnicity, creed, age, and gender. Education can be integrated classroom instruction through traditional and nontraditional education systems; or it may merge parenting skills training, school enrichment programs and community involvement. CPLC's goal is to afford every child and adult the opportunity to achieve a quality education.EARLY HEAD STARTThis is a federally-funded, community-based program for low-income pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and their families.
