Even Start Mission Statement:
| Even Start Mission Statement: Willingboro Public Schools Even Start Family Literacy Program will provide support and encouragement to families who need help with the development of their children during the crucial early years of life. Our purpose is to provide a high quality, effective family literacy program while actively maintaining partnerships and relationships within the community. We seek to provide referrals when it is necessary to meet the goals of the program. |
What's Happening at Even Start:
The Even Start Family Literacy Program is a school-community partnership that helps break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy by integrating early childhood education, adult literacy or adult basic education, and parenting education into a unified family literacy program. Even Start is implemented nationally through cooperative projects that build on high-quality existing community resources, creating a new range of services for children, families and adults. Programs help children and families achieve the academic standards set forth by the States and use instructional programs that are based on scientifically- based reading research to:
- enrich language development, extend learning, and support high levels of educational success for children birth to age seven and their parents;
- provide literacy services of sufficient hours and duration to make sustainable changes in a family;
- provide integrated instructional services for families, where children and their parents learn together to develop habits of life-long learning; and
- support families committed to education and to economic independence.
Projects operate year-round and provide staff training and support services, such as child care and transportation, when unavailable from other sources, to enable participation in core education activities.
