Thank you for helping us make brighter futures possible for young Houstonians!

Carol ShattuckPresident and CEOCollaborative for Children

If you’ve been a resident of Houston for some time, I’m sure it pains you as much as me to see the hundreds of thousands of trees that have perished from the recentdrought across Texas, threatening our air quality and wildlife habitats.

A tree’s chance of survival depends on the type of soil and its condition before a drought hits. When our trees and vegetation don’t have the ingredients needed to thrive and grow, including a strong foundation (root system), quality

society that they otherwise could.

It’s the same with our children. Without a strong early foundation and consistent, quality cultivation before the rigors of schooling and life begin, children’s abilities to develop and reach their full potential are compromised.

in young children’s lives comes in. By building parent knowledge, helping parents select child care, and providing extensive training and resources to early childhood professionals across our community, we ensure that young children receive a strong “root system” to help them reach the fullest heights of their potential later in life.

Our training and mentoring programs empower early childhood educators to provide hands-on early learning opportunities in the classroom, which are essential to helping young children prepare for school. Training topics include curriculum development, math and science skill-building, and language and literacy development strategies, among many others.

Stories of success

Laurie Richards was newly separated from the father of her one-year-old and three-year-old daughters when she enrolled in a six-week parenting class with us in the fall of 2011. Frustrated and discouraged by her situation, she felt in her heart that she was not setting a good example for her girls and was teaching them to respond to challenges with anger and yelling.

Through our parenting support services, Laurie received

She left each class with hands-on skills to help her adjust her

which helped her build stronger family dynamics and a sense of security and stability for her girls at home.

“The parenting education series and the teacher, Ms. Bradford, have changed my life as a parent,” Laurie says.

like never before and committed to completing a critical new goal: obtaining her Child Development Associate credential.

Through the process, Lashunda rediscovered her passion for early childhood education and took the next step of enrolling in our scholarship assistance program to return to college and further her career. Today, she only has 13

hours remaining to complete her Associate’s degree. Her long-term goal is to eventually open her own child care program.

“I don’t think I would be where I am today if Collaborative for Children didn’t believe in me, encourage me, and inspire me to do whatever I put my mind to doing,” Lashunda says.

Educational resource and equipment grants

Transforming ClassroomsFor child care programs participating in our intensive quality improvement projects, external evaluations using the nationally-recognized Environment Rating Scales show dramatic improvements in child care quality. Our intensive projects offer programs and educators an array of training, leadership development, in-class coaching, scholarships, and classroom resources to boost the quality of care offered to young children. Our College Bound from Birth program offers these intensive services to participating early childhood centers in the Sunnyside neighborhood in south Houston. This program is just one example of the impact we are making in early childhood classrooms through our intensive quality improvement work throughout Greater Houston.

Evaluation Results for College Bound from Birth Pre-K Classrooms*

*Inadequate classrooms have no or

inappropriate or no interaction between teachers and children, and risks for children’s health and safety. Good to excellent classrooms have excellent materials, ample space, personalized care, and consistently positive interaction between teachers and children.

This graph demonstrates how our investments of stimulus funding increased the training of early childhood educators in our region. We measured this impact through our QualiFind database, which tracks teacher education in early childhood classrooms in our 13-county region. To rank “excellent” a program’s lead teachers must have a Child Development Associate credential or higher, or 25% of lead teachers must have an Associate or B.A. degree in Early Childhood Education.

classroom equipment, along with parenting education classes and healthcare access resources offered on site.

Roshalette says she witnessed a dramatic transformation at Walker’s — teachers were trying new strategies and encouraging children to experience learning in brand new ways. Brandon’s sister, who previously wouldn’t talk, blossomed and strengthened her communication skills because of the encouragement and care she received. Brandon experienced a new excitement for learning that helped give him a solid foundation for school, says his mom.

Now, Brandon is thriving in kindergarten and doing exceptionally well in math according to his teachers.

“College Bound goes into neighborhoods with limited resources recognizing that all children have gifts,” says Roshalette. “It’s such a blessing to have resources to make those gifts come alive. It instills the attitude at a young age that our kids can reach for the stars no matter where they come from.”

We launched the College Bound from Birth program in 2008 in the Sunnyside neighborhood to prepare children to arrive at school on track and on grade level in reading and math by grade three.

results of federal stimulus funding

Beginning in November 2009 and concluding in June of 2011, we received a one-time federal stimulus grant of $9.6 million from the Gulf Coast Workforce Board-Workforce Solutions to improve the quality of early childhood programs in our region. Through this grant, we touched the lives of 74,862 children, 31,557 families and 8,200 early childhood educators.

sowing seeds of successeducating key influencers to build a community of support

ASCENDE Charitable Trust volunteers gathered on June 25, 2011, to paint the Building Blocks Child Care Center in Highlands, Texas, to help create brighter, more engaging surroundings for young learners. Sixty children, from infants through age 13, are served by the center, which partners with us to strengthen the critical educational foundations young children need to prepare for school and a lifetime of success.

On April 30, 2011, volunteers from Spectra Energy participated in a second volunteer project with us, this time to paint the D’Unique Learning Center in Houston. The team was so inspired that they organized a follow-up project to make curtains, quilts and crib sheets for the children in care at the program.

“It was a joy to me to be able to help and I truly hope that the children, teachers and parents enjoy the curtains and colorful blankets, and that the added beauty and color they bring to each of the rooms will be a source of inspiration to everyone. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be of assistance.” – LaNessa Patrick, Spectra Energy
