From geears.org/geearsbustour ↗About this program
On Friday, April 26th, join us as we hit the road to explore some of Metro Atlanta’s most innovative early care and learning sites.
Together, we’ll learn about their ecosystem of supports, including health care services, literacy intervention programs, facility improvement grantors like PAACT: Promise All Atlanta Children Thrive, and more.
We’ll discover how providers use these integral community connections to build and maintain high-quality early learning environments.
We’ll meet at the GEEARS office on Friday morning, have breakfast and lunch on the bus, and then return to GEEARS’ offices so you can pick up your cars and go home for the evening.
On Saturday morning, you’ll meet us at the Building Babies Brains Impact Lab conference in Gwinnett to see how that event connects child care programs to relevant resources. We’ll guide you through some dedicated GEEARS Bus Tour-related sessions as well.
