Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION THAT FOSTERS INTELLECTUAL, CREATIVE, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, & PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT & TO MITIGATE SOCIOECONOMIC DISADVANTAGES THROUGH FAMILY INVOLVEMENT, & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, ENSURING THAT ALL OUR STUDENTS ARE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN.
TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY, EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION TO CHILDREN AGES 6 WEEKS TO 5 YEARS.
CENTER-BASED: IN THE SCOTTDALE SCHOOL, OUR NAEYC ACCREDITED AND QUALITY RATED CENTER-BASED PROGRAM, WE SERVE 84 CHILDREN DAILY PROVIDING FULL-TIME CARE FROM 7AM TO 6PM. IN OUR MOST RECENT YEAR, WE EXPANDED OUR CENTER-BASED PROGRAMMING TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL LOCATION IN DECATUR, WHICH WILL SERVE UP TO 100 CHILDREN. IN MOST YEARS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SUCCESS, WE SHARE DETAILED DATA FROM OUR ASQ'S AND THE RESULTS OF PRE-K BUT DUE TO THE IMPACT OF COVID 19, WE WEREN'T ONSITE WITH OUR CHILDREN TO CONDUCT THESE ANNUAL FOLLOW-UP ASSESSMENTS. WE ARE PROUD TO SHARE THAT DESPITE THE MANY CHALLENGES OF THIS YEAR, SCOTTDALE HAS REMAINED STRONG - EVOLVING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY IN THE BEST WAY WE CAN. AFTER THE INITIAL MANDATE TO THE STATE TO CLOSE FACILITIES IN MARCH, WE WERE ABLE TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING. WE'VE REMAINED CONNECTED TO OUR FAMILIES AND HAVE CONTINUED TO ASSESS THEIR NEEDS AND HAVE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT. THIS INCLUDES OFFERING SCHOLARSHIPS, WEEKLY SUPPLY KITS, AND MOST RECENTLY WE CONDUCTED A FOOD DISTRIBUTION.CURRENTLY, THE MAJORITY OF THE FAMILIES IN OUR PROGRAMS ARE LOW-TO-VERY LOW-INCOME FAMILIES. 85% OF OUR FAMILIES ARE CONSIDERED VERY-LOW INCOME AND 8% ARE LOW INCOME - WHICH MAKES THEM AT RISK FOR SCHOOL SUCCESS WITHOUT A QUALITY EARLY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. OUR GOAL IS TO PREPARE CHILDREN FOR EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS - IN KINDERGARTEN AND BEYOND!
COMMUNITY-BASED: OUR PARENTS AS TEACHERS PROGRAM WORKS DIRECTLY IN THE HOME WITH FAMILIES TO PROVIDE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND FAMILY SUPPORT THAT INCREASES SCHOOL SUCCESS. THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM ARE TO STRENGTHEN PARENTS' KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND INVOLVEMENT SO THEY ARE AN EFFECTIVE FIRST TEACHER FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND TO STRENGTHEN KINDERGARTEN READINESS OF STUDENTS. THE SCOTTDALE PARENTS AS TEACHERS PROGRAM SERVES UP TO 150 CHILDREN AND PARENTS. THE CLARKSTON READY SCHOOLS, WHICH ARE AN OUTGROWTH OF OUR PARENTS AS TEACHERS WORK, SERVES LOW-INCOME CHILDREN AGES 3 AND 4 YEARS OLD, AND THEIR FAMILIES IN CLARKSTON, GEORGIA. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN ARE HEALTHY, SAFE, PREPARED FOR, AND SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL. THE READY SCHOOLS SERVE 40 CHILDREN WEEKLY. CURRENTLY, DUE TO COVID19, OUR COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS ARE VIRTUAL, AND ALL SUPPORT IS PROVIDED ONLINE. WE HAVE WEEKLY SUPPLY PICK-UPS, WHERE EDUCATIONAL TOYS, BOOKS, DIAPERS, WIPES AND MANY OTHER MATERIALS ARE GIVEN TO OUR ENROLLED FAMILIES.
