Early Childhood Partnerships
Early Learning Partnerships
Early Learning partnerships refer to our work alongside child care centers, early learning centers and the families they serve, to screen, monitor and identify children who would benefit from early intervention services. The ASQ screeners allow families and caregivers to better assess the risk for developmental delays, with timely screenings at regular intervals for critical developmental monitoring.
- We support child care and early learning centers by providing access to the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE2). The ASQ screeners are scored and the results are emailed to the parents as well as the center’s director.
- Sprouts team of child development specialists review results and consult with both the early learning center and the parents to review and discuss possible next steps.
Community Agency Partnerships
An Agency partnership refers to how we develop and sustain meaningful interactive relationships with a varietyof community agencies or resources (parent, education, civic, and business groups), so that all membersunderstand and contribute to the work of supporting young children.
- We work alongside agency partners to screen, monitor, and intervene in filling a critical gap in early intervention services.
- We offer consultation, support services and collaboration to childcare centers, private schools, public schools, and community programs.
Family Support Services
Strong family engagement is essential to promoting children's healthy development and wellness, including:
- social and behavioral development
- preschool readiness and early learning opportunities
- transitioning into kindergarten
- supporting academic learning
Families are children’s first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers. Positive parenting and strong family engagement are essential to promoting children’s healthy development and wellness. Families’ engagement in children’s learning at home and in early care and education programs can impact lifelong health, developmental and academic outcomes.
- We support families by offering referrals to community resources that fit a family’s needs and location.
- We support families as they navigate early learning programs and as they transition into public/private school services for their child.
