Project Title: High-Quality, Affordable Early Learning for Underserved Children
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Since 80% of a child\u2019s brain is developed by age three, quality early education impacts the child\u2019s ability to learn and succeed in school and life. Children who receive quality early childhood learning are healthier, happier, more likely to graduate from high school and college, avoid teen pregnancy, be employed, earn higher wages and enjoy home ownership. Children also are less likely to repeat a grade, require special education, be incarcerated, live in poverty as adults and rely on public assistance. With access to affordable and high-quality early learning and care, working families achieve better job stability and overall economic security. Over 5,000 children are not registered in quality early learning programs in Collier County, FL – the cost of care is out of reach for most families. Founded in 2008, Child’s Path operates four early learning centers, serving 300-400 children annually, and is one of the largest providers of high-quality early learning to underserved children in Collier County, FL. Over 75% of students receive income-based Bright Paths Scholarships to attend so their parents can continue to work to support their families. Children are ethnically diverse and come from working family households. Many live in homes where English is not spoken, reside in single-parent households, and live in "food desert" neighborhoods. Even though 76% of families with children under age 6 have both parents working, they can barely afford to provide the basics and live paycheck-to-paycheck. Roughly one in every four households in Collier County is at risk of a single financial emergency tipping them into poverty. Despite these obstacles, 100% of Child\u2019s Path Children improved their social, emotional and cognitive developmental skills; 80% met\/exceeded those goals and 83% of pre-kindergartens students assessed as \u201cready for kindergarten\u201d \u2013 30 points above the state average of 53%.<\/p>\n
