Linn County
Community Empowerment

is a citizen-led collaboration with Education, Health and Human Service partners to improve early childhood development opportunities for children age birth to five years and their families.

• High quality preschool slots for children 3-years-old, at no cost to income-eligible families.
• Wraparound funding for full-day preschool and childcare for children 3-5 years old, at no cost to income-eligible families.
• Free transportation for children attending specific Cedar Rapids Community School District preschool classrooms, for those children who are in need of transportation where there are no district routes available.
