LADACIN’s Executive Director Patricia Carlesimo knew exactly where to turn: the Monmouth ACTS network – specifically the Early Childhood Success Hub whose goal is for all children to age 8 to be safe, healthy and ready to learn. Carlesimo serves on the Hub and MAAC Executive Committee and contacted fellow Hub and MAAC Executive Committee member Kim Perrelli, executive director, Child Care Resources (CCR) of Monmouth County, to make her aware of LADACIN’s situation.
Through a partnership with CCR and Monmouth ACTS, a solution was secured.
“Our voice was heard,” says Carlesimo, and thanks to Kim and CCR, they provided supplemental funding that literally kept us alive during the pandemic.”
