Opportunities Act (ELOA) was passed by Congress to award grants to states to

learning opportunities for children and their families through local
community organizations. In collaboration with

participate in the following activities:
- Develop pilot program linking child care and mental health services.
- Increase provider access to information, training, and technical
assistance through web-based technology.
- Offer child care professionals a two-day workshop on “Healthy Minds,
Healthy Bodies, and Healthy Environments” with follow-up, on–site technical
assistance in a mentoring format.

Director Cohort through the field-testing of the Screening and Planning
Guide for Inclusive Early Care and Education.
