School Readiness and Parenting Results

feature8

CCRC offers a wide range of high quality programs that help children and parents attain the necessary skills that place them on a path for success.  Our programs increase readiness for kindergarten in underserved children and increase a parent's ability to support their child's readiness - significant gains are accomplished in language, learning, math and more amongst children 0-5 years.


To illustrate the impact on the following expected outcomes, data was collected and summarized across a number of CCRC’s early care and education programs:
  • CCRC’s programs increase readiness for kindergarten in underserved children

  • CCRC’s programs increase a parent’s ability to support their child’s readiness for kindergarten in order to sustain their success in school
