Welcome to our weekly community spotlight! This week we are featuring...

🫟Gold Country Art Spot 🫟

Gold Country Art Spot is owned by art guru Shawna Holm. The Resource Connection has hosted many child care provider and FFN art nights with Shawna and we LOVE the work she does for children and providers!

Gold Country Art Spot hosts art workshops for children in Shawna's colorful, glitter filled art studio! Her art classes range from blacklight painting nights, pizza and paint parties, and mixed media days of fun for children! There's something perfect for all ages. We encourage you to check her out and get your children involved in being creative masterminds!

Did you know we have an Emergency Child Care Bridge Program? SB 1051 would make the process for our bridge program more efficient and able to serve resource families better. Currently, the process for resource families is extensive and requires many steps which often cause long wait times and phone tag between services and clients.

This bill, SB 1051, is designed for us to serve families right away at the first point of contact rather than referring them to CPS before they return to us for services...thus eliminating the phone tag and other delays!

When families say yes to fostering, they step up in extraordinary ways.

SB 1051 ensures the system steps up for them too, connecting caregivers to child care support immediately and helping children transition into stable, nurturing environments.

More access · Less confusion · Better outcomes
