Registration ECE Montana Harvest of the Month Early Care and Education Registration The Montana Harvest of the Month program is open to ECE programs in Montana. Please coordinate with your Harvest of the Month team at your school, daycare, or ECE program to avoid duplicate registrations. A team is crucial for a successful implementation of the Harvest of the Month program and creates valuable connections within the ECE program and community. If you have not approached all the required members of your Harvest of the Month team (administrator, director, cook/food service, and teacher) you may still register. Please be in touch with your team members as soon as possible. Anyone listed as a team member with contact information will receive monthly email Harvest of the Month updates. This will help remind your team of available resources and updates. You can register multiple program sites at the same time with this form. You will list each of the participating program sites. This registration form collects one set of team members. If you wish to have different team members listed for each site, please complete a separate registration form per site. These individual school/program teams might have overlapping team members such as food service staff or administrator. Prior to registering, you can learn the basics of Montana Harvest of the Month program with the handouts, short videos, and trainings posted on the site.After registering you will receive: Access to the materials and resources on the HOM ECE PortalA confirmation email with instructions to fill out your Baseline SurveyA packet of the HOM materials set to the address in this registrationOne packet will be provided for each participating program site.
