Extension Educator Jaci Foged (pictured standing) partners with Lincoln Littles to coordinate and train the Connection Cadre, available to graduates of the Childcare Teacher Foundations Class. Cadre participants increase their knowledge of child development and build relationships with other Lincoln providers. This year, 30 people participated in the Cadre, earning up to 6 in-service hours. Funding for the program is provided from the American Rescue Plan Act through the Nebraska Department of Labor.
