'19-'20 Family Services Development Associate VISTA
 
 
 
The Child Care Action Council’s mission is to promote and nurture early learning communities where families and children thrive through services that benefit young children. We help enhance the ability of all families in our beautiful Puget Sound region to equitably access quality child care and early learning opportunities. Be part of our team! Our VISTA member will support capacity building for Margie’s Crisis Nursery, Kaleidoscope Play & Learn (KP&L), Raising A Reader (RAR), and BlockFest. • The Crisis Nursery prevents child abuse and neglect by providing childcare vouchers to families experiencing a crisis, allowing families to take care of themselves. • KP&L playgroups help children ages birth-5 and their parent(s) or other family caregivers have more equitable access to resources, learn about early learning in a fun supportive group, and encourage leadership, all factors that help the participants emerge from poverty. We serve parents that have been identified as having potential for high risk pregnancy including teen parents, families where low income or mental health issues are present, and Spanish speaking families • RAR fosters healthy brain development, parent-child bonding, and early literacy skills critical for school and life success. RAR engages children, parents, and teachers in early literacy strategies that help young children prepare for kindergarten. The relationship that comes from the family’s “book-cuddling” time creates a positive feeling in children related to reading. • BlockFest, a research-based exhibit, raises awareness of early math and science learning by offering hands-on block play experiences to families with young children. BlockFest supports parents and children to form an emotional bond during the learning experience and has been shown to increase parent knowledge of early development in math/science education while also providing opportunities to increase social skills and literacy opportunities for young children.
