CHENANGO – Opportunities for Chenango has found ways to ensure a continuity of services to families while following health and safety guidelines.

Executive Director Mark Silvanic contributes their ability to maintain programs to the board of directors and their investment investment in technology.

“We were kind of lucky in the fact that our board of directors invested money into our technology so we are in a very strong position,” said Silvanic. “We have almost 100 laptops that staff are using to reach out to families.”

Due to government mandates, the Head Start facilities are closed. However, the staff of the early childhood education program are providing families with learning materials they can use at home with their children. Silvanic said that the staff are checking in on the families of the Head Start program to guide them through the learning process with their children.
