First 5 Fresno County
End-Of-Program Thanks
Thank you to First 5 Fresno County for their collaboration and funding of our Family Literacy Program at West Park Elementary. Over the last two years, we served 92 adults and children ages 0-5.
This program provided family strengthening activities including home visits, parent workshops, family events, field trips, and kindergarten readiness groups. At the end of the program, post-assessment results showed that 80% of the 4-5 year olds scored above the developmental range associated with early reading success.
Upon completion of the program, all families received a home library and multiple referrals to other community resources so parents can continue to support the development of their children and truly be their child's first teacher. Each of the home libraries included a collection of 40 children's books, a bookshelf, and a beanbag reading chair for the child.
Thanks again to our friends and partners at First 5 Fresno County for helping us make a difference with these families.
