Downeast Community Partners (DCP) Early Childhood Education Director Eve Toomey has only been on the job a couple of months, but she is quickly gaining the lay of the land and hoping to build partnerships with local schools and existing providers to enhance early childhood education in Hancock and Washington counties. Toomey, a native of Minnesota, previously worked as a social worker in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area before moving to Maine eighteen months ago.
