Mission

To focus creative & collaborative action on the health, education, social and economic needs of children and families at risk or living in poverty.

Notes from the nonprofit

The agency remains mission-driven; financial times are hard and resources becoming limited but we persist in doing more with less. Our outputs have grown, our outcomes remain successful as measured. The agency's participation in regional evaluation and programs helps us better provide service in cost effective, outcome driven ways. In spite of the Covid 19 pandemic and the stopping of all face to face meetings, trainings and family home visits, the agency immediately pivoted to virtual service with no interruption in service delivery

Communication

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

1. Children are often unprepared for the vigor of kindergarten. Early education positively impacts their preparedness. Many parents are unfamiliar, lack the knowledge and the confidence to act as their child's first teacher. Additionally, in many families the understanding that learning starts at birth is not a familiar concept. Additionally, those working in early education at childcare centers, at home daycare and through informally caring for friends and relatives lack the knowledge about child development, early literacy and best practice. Educating those working in the childcare/ early childhood field leads to a better trained workforce, personal and professional development for childcare workers and ultimately children better prepared to be successful in kindergarten and beyond.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

We shared information about our current feedback practices.

Who are the people you serve with your mission?

Low-income families with children birth through 4 years, primarily non-English speakers, immigrants, female-headed households. All licensed and family, friend, neighbor childcare providers in a tri-county region. The total number of childcare providers is 2,500. We serve 15-20% of these providers
How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve
What significant change resulted from feedback?

Changed hours of Live virtual training sessions for childcare providers. Since March of 2020, all parent /child visits and trainings have been virtual. We are gradually changing that practice and hope to have a hybrid (in person and remote) model for all programs soon. We anticipate maintaining a hybrid model going forward to better meet the needs of families and providers.
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

We don’t have the right technology to collect and aggregate feedback efficiently, The people we serve tell us they find data collection burdensome, It is difficult to find the ongoing funding to support feedback collection, Staff find it hard to prioritize feedback collection and review due to lack of time

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
