“Cpcd's programs are based on the comprehensive head start model and are child and family-focused. Cpcd adopts a two-generation approach that focuses on creating opportunities for, and addressing the needs of, both vulnerable young children and their parents together. To qualify for cpcd's programs, a child must live at or below the federal poverty level, have a disability, or be considered at-risk for school failure. Children receive individualized services that support each child in developingthe skills needed to be successful in school and life, including early childhood education; health and behavioral health; nutrition; and transportation. Parents are supported in their role as their child's first teacher, and cpcd works closely with parents to assist them in developing and utilizing individual and family strengths so that they may meet personal and family goals. Services are individualized for each child and family and are appropriate for each family's developmental, ethnic, cultural and linguistic heritage and experience. Cpcd, together with our community partners, is proud of our 32 year history of helping children to enter kindergarten with the skills that they need to succeed in school, and supporting parents to be active, life-long participants in their children's education success while improving their own economic stability, education, and wellness.”
