Organizations Filed Purposes:
OPERATE AN EARLY LEARNING CENTER THAT PROVIDES INTENSIVE EARLY EDUCATION SERVICES FOR CHILDREN IN LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA AND PROVIDE TRAINING TO EDUCATORS IN BEST-PRACTICE METHODS.
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT - THE EDUCARE MODEL FOCUSES ON INTENSE FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AS A KEY LEVER TO STUDENT SUCCESS. FAMILIES HONORED AS THE PRIMARY TEACHER OF THEIR STUDENTS, AND EDUCARE USES DATA, FAMILY MEETINGS, AND PARENT SURVEYS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND IMPROVE WORK IN THE CLASSROOM. IT IS THIS MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN STAFF AND FAMILIES THAT PROMOTES THE SUCCESS OF CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM. ADDITIONALLY, TRAINING FOR FAMILIES SUPPORTS THEIR ABILITY TO BE ADVOCATES FOR THEIR CHILDREN NOT JUST AT EDUCARE, BUT IN SCHOOLS THEY WILL ATTEND IN THE FUTURE.
CLASSROOM SERVICES - PROGRAM SERVED APPROXIMATELY 200 CHILDREN AGES BIRTH TO 5 AND THEIR FAMILIES IN A MODEL EARLY LEARNING SCHOOL. CLASSROOM SERVICES WERE PROVIDED BY THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND KIDANGO, AND FUNDED WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL FUNDING SOURCES. FAMILIES RECEIVING SERVICES WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD EARLY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THIS YEAR, THE EDUCARE HAS COMMITTED TO A REGGIO-EMILIA INSPIRED APPROACH TO CURRICULUM THAT FOCUSES ON LANGUAGE ACQUISITION FOR MULTILINGUAL STUDENTS.
EVALUATION - ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCARE IS THAT THEY COLLECT AND ANALYZE (IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NATIONAL EDUCARE LEARNING NETWORK) INFORMATION AND DATA ON CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND WORKFORCE. THE DATA IS USED BY THE SITE TO MAKE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ON ENHANCING OUR SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THE DATA IS ALSO USED BY THE NATIONAL NETWORK TO LOOK AT NATIONAL TRENDS ACROSS ALL EDUCARES IN THE NETWORK. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS DATA IS USED REGULARLY BY TEACHERS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF INSTRUCTION AND INTERACTIONS WITH CHILDREN.
