PROGRAM
Broadous Ready For School is a resource center where children
and parents in the community can access services and support.
Some highlights appear below.
Early Care and Education:
Increase training for early care and education center teachers,
center and home providers, and parents around early learning
activities and screening for developmental concerns for children
ages 0-5 and their families.
Parent/Family Support:
Promote family literacy by providing on-site programs in the
areas of adult education (ESL, HS Diploma), child-parent interactive
learning courses and parenting classes.
Health and Social Services:
Improve children’s behavior and family functioning through
prevention education and activities that include young children
and their parents together. Provide case management for teen
parents and for other parents of children age 0-5 with high
family risk factors.
School Capacity:
Improve communication across the community of teachers, early
care providers and families about school expectations. Coordinate
a Kindergarten orientation project for children and their parents
across the schools and local early care providers.
Program Infrastructure and Administration:
Create a specific physical site centrally located at the Broadous
EEC that will house the Broadous RFS Resource Center where families,
children, teachers, early care provides and partners can find
coordination of services for children ages 0-5. Provide outreach
services and materials that are culturally, linguistically and
special needs appropriate. Develop a Parent Leadership Cadre
that meets regularly to discuss ways to better coordinate existing
services and tap into new ones. They will also help guide outreach
efforts and make decisions for their community.
