| Abstract: |
Research clearly shows the lasting effects of early developmental experiences on children's later success and well-being; however, the early childhood field struggles to provide consistent high-quality care and education across a fragmented delivery system. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the programs for young children age 0-3. In 2013, the federal Administration for Children and Families took a bold step to bridge gaps in services by creating the Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships (EHS-CCP) initiative. The EHS-CCP grants aim to incorporate the strengths of Early Head Start into other child care settings and enable more children to receive quality, comprehensive services. The Heising-Simons Foundation created a technical assistance project for California's EHS-CCP grantees and partners to support their efforts to better engage families and communities in young children's development. Front and center of this project, called Family and Community Engagement Technical Assistance (FACE-TA), was a coaching model implemented by Save the Children U.S. Programs. This brief tells the story of how the EHS-CCP grantees and their partners collaborated to strengthen their family engagement processes. |
