    PARENTING PROGRAM:

    The Parenting program helps parents transform their homes into lifelong learning laboratories and become their child’s first teachers starting from birth. Parents receive instructional time in toy making, listen to community speakers and participate in interactive literacy activities and six home visits a year.  While parents attend the PCEP sessions, their children receive care and instruction using the PCEP Early Childhood Education Framework focused on school preparation.

    • -150 hours of instruction provided by early childhood teachers, following evidence-based curriculum.
    • -Builds the foundation children ages 0-3 need to prepare them to succeed in school.
    • -Classrooms are divided into babies, small children, and pre-school.
    • -Each group learns from age-appropriate lessons. 

    In addition to early education and parenting education, the program provides parents with opportunities to develop social capital – a network of support through connections within their cohort and within their community.
