THE PROGRAM TARGETS CENTERS SERVING LOW INCOME CHILDREN AND IS PART OF A STATE-WIDE EFFORT TO MAKE SURE CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES ARE EATING NUTRITIOUS FOOD TO HELP THEM GROW IN MIND AND BODY. THE PROGRAM FACILITATES ACCESS FOR CHILDREN AGES BIRTH TO 12 YEARS OLD TO EAT A NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST, A HOT LUNCH, AND SNACKS.
CHILDREN'S EARLY LEARNING CENTER & LAB SCHOOL (THE ROSA VALDEZ EARLY LEARNING CENTER & LAB SCHOOL) - EIGHTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF THE CHILDREN AT THE CENTER LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. THE CENTER HAS A STANDARD FOR HIGH QUALITY CARE, LOW TEACHER-TO-CHILD RATIOS, CERTIFIED STAFF, AND AN ENRICHED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION TO A LITERACY BASED CHRISTIAN CURRICULUM, THE CENTER PROVIDES DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENTS, THERAPEUTIC SERVICES, BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING, FAMILY SUPPORT, AND LOTS OF LOVE AND CARE FOR THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WHO ARE PART OF THE ROSA FAMILY. ALTHOUGH THE CENTER'S GOAL IS TO PREPARE CHILDREN FOR FUTURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS, IT ALSO STRIVES TO PROVIDE SAFE CHILD CARE SO THAT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS CAN WORK OR GO TO SCHOOL TO MOVE THEIR FAMILY OUT OF POVERTY.
