City of Arlington

To encourage early learning, the Arlington Public Library will partner in a planning project with the Arlington Independent School District, the Mansfield Independent School District, the United Way of Tarrant County, and Child Care Associates. The planning team will establish a coordinating body for all partners to inventory current resources, programs, and families currently being served. The project also will identify gaps and needs not being met in the community and will formulate a full action plan that involves all partners working in better coordination. This project is modeled on the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP), which is funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and coordinated by the Urban Institute.
