From County Exec. Kevin Byrne
“The Early Learning Center will cut commuting times for children, save taxpayers money on a mandatory educational service, and provide well-deserved peace of mind to parents of special needs students. None of this would have been possible without our county Department of Health spearheading this dual childcare and cost-savings initiative. While more work remains before we can fully implement this program, today’s action marks a critical step to ensure we’re on track to open in time for the upcoming fall semester. This administration asked the county legislature to ‘think differently,’ and they responded with their unanimous support.”

Welcome Message
“Remember that Putnam County is home. Regardless of what may make us different as individuals, it is our respect for each-other as neighbors, our desire to step up and serve, to lend a hand, and leave this beautiful county better off than we found it. That is what makes this place so special. It is with that in mind that we as a county government are here to serve, and will always serve, with a desire to do better.” - Kevin M. Byrne | Putnam County Executive
