The Four Rivers Early Learning Hub is closing in on receiving approval from the state.  The hub is a five-county regionalization to coordinate early learning services for children up to six years of age in Wasco, Hood River, Sherman, Gilliam, and Wheeler counties.  Joella Dethman of the Hood River County Prevention Department is involved in getting the hub’s plan up and running, and she expects state approval in April.  Dethman says the state’s Early Learning Council has provided resources to help get the hub approved.  She notes there will be a representative from each County on the hub’s board, along with health, education, and early learning representatives.
