The West Virginia Early Childhood Provider Quarterly is the first and only publication designed exclusively for West Virginia Early Care and Education Professionals. The magazine supports, informs and coordinates the early childhood community, including families.

The Parent Blocks Newsletter section of each magazine is designed to provide families with relevant information on a variety of topics that focus on children's issues from a parent's perspective. It may be photo copied by providers and distributed to program families. The newsletter must be distributed free of charge.

The West Virginia Early Childhood Provider Quarterly is published by WV Early Childhood Training Connections and Resources, a collaborative project of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources/Bureau for Children and Families/Division of Early Care and Education; Office of Maternal, Child and Family Health/WV Birth to Three; WV Head Start State Collaboration Office; West Virginia Department of Education/Office of Special Education and is supported and administered by River Valley Child Development Services.

A partnership with WV Public Broadcasting and its Ready to Learn service allows organizations to collectively provide information on the opportunities available for early childhood development.
