Details:
The long-term health and welfare of a community is directly correlated to the health and welfare of its children. Those who are strong, prepared and ready for kindergarten have a significantly greater chance for success in school and life. The impact of their SPARK program has proven that to advance the common good, they need to ensure that children birth to five years old in the communities they support have equitable access to early childhood resources and education. They hope to achieve this goal by focusing on the whole child and the whole family.
Fox Valley United Way strives to improve and strengthen outcomes for families and their children by collaborating with partner agencies to support the following strategies:
- Strategy 1: Parents and the community are educated and informed about the importance and value of an early childhood education for all of their young children and the impact it has on children’s success in school and life.
- Strategy 2: Support the on-going improvement of the early childhood programs in the Fox Valley area through continued professional development of individuals who work with families and children.
- Strategy 3: Ensure that all children have equitable access to quality early childhood programs and resources.
- Strategy 4: Build an early childhood coordinated system in Fox Valley communities in which the school districts, community based early childhood programs, community agencies, serving families and children, all work as one unit to ensure that Fox Valley’s young children have the resources, knowledge and skills to be Strong, Prepared And Ready for Kindergarten.
