Families play a key role in preparing their children for success. Yet many families are unaware of the critical learning that takes place in the earliest months and years of life. They don’t know the best ways to nurture early development.
Based on a national model, United Way has had extensive experience establishing local partnerships that draw on the strengths of community-based organizations, such as early learning centers, school districts and family and social service agencies. The primary goals are:
increase families’ awareness of their role in improving their children’s educational outcomes
empower families with the knowledge, skills and abilities to support student learning and school improvement
equip school staff and child care providers with the skills to develop relationships that raise families’ capacity to support their children’s educational needs
Key aspects of this model include:
Engaging local stakeholders in creating a county-wide early education plan
Implementing Parents as Teachers, a national research based home-visitation program to enhance parenting skills and link families with social networks and resources.
Improving children’s school readiness skills using research-based developmental screenings and assessments.
Establishing School Transition Teams made up of child care providers, school staff, parents and community partners to develop transition plans and year-long strategies for rising prekindergarten through third-grade students.
Mobilizing and supporting parents to be leaders and to advocate for themselves, their children and their communities.
Building grassroots support to advocate for improvements in policies and systems that help all children succeed in school.
