2 WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND PARENTS TO PROMOTE FAMILY ECONOMIC STABILITY 2
3 EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE S COMMUNITY Local poverty rates exceed 80% 36% of residents are foreign-born 30% of residents are not proficient in English 75% lack any form of post-secondary education 97% of families in our two-generation program receive some form of public assistance 3
4 RETURN ON INVESTMENT The return on investment for children and their parents has the potential to be tremendous. Every $1 invested in high-quality early childhood education saves at least $7 in social costs later and increases children s economic and educational outcomes. (Ascend at the Aspen Institute) A parent s level of educational attainment is the best predictor of a child s success. (Julian, T. & Kominski, R. 2011, September) College graduates earn over 60% more than high school graduates in their lifetime. (Baum & Ma, 2007) 4
5 CONTEXTUALIZED LEARNING FOR PARENTS We seek to bolster the impact of early childhood education and reduce third grade fade by enhancing supports for families. Parents attend classes in the same building as their children. Staff encourage and support parents to advocate for child s education. 5

9 WHAT WE RE MEASURING Customized database that allows staff to track parent and child outcomes concurrently. Baseline survey that functions as the primary intake and ongoing assessment tool for families. Document progress and correlations between parents and children. 9
10 ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE 331 adults, 53% of families, have enrolled in the program. Five parents have graduated from college. 35 parents are currently enrolled in college. 27 parents are currently interested in applying to college and exploring the option with a college advisor. 131 parents are currently taking ESOL classes. 32 parents are currently enrolled in our in-house employment services. 10
11 LEARNING AND RESULTS Early childhood students average 96% on year-end measures of learning and development. Our rate of retention for parents is 70%, the national average ranges between 15% and 50%. 11
12 BRAIDING FUNDING Programming is supported through Head Start, Child Care, Pre-Kindergarten, WIOA and Literacy Zone funds. Seed funds from JPMorgan Chase and Annie E. Casey Foundation. Educational Alliance demonstrates that revenue streams can be connected to improve services to families. 12
13 LEARNING AND RESULTS Evaluation data suggest that as a result of the program, even participants in the early stages of their education are engaging in behaviors that may positively impact their children s educational success such as frequent reading to their children, helping them with homework, and stronger communication with their teachers. 13
14 LEARNING AND RESULTS Before I never read bedtime stories to my kids and I never borrowed books from the library for them. Now the teachers tell us how to help our kids, and I read to my daughter for 30 minutes every day and play games with her. 14
