Direct services are provided in the private homes of eligible children and families throughout the county. The program also provides center-based and consultative services at preschool programs in many of the communities in the area. The U.S. Office of Special Education Programs and Chapter One at the federal level provides funds to the Vermont Department of Education, which provides the federal money to local districts in the form of block and incentive grants. The State Legislature appropriates an additional amount of money for the public schools each year, and part of these funds is designated for early childhood education services. The total operating budget for the collaborative's activities is a combination of these resources.
