Abstract

Family engagement in early education is insufficient. The Early Learning Program is an agency which serves low income families by providing early childhood education and a variety of different services like health and dental screenings for children and nutrition and parenting workshops for the parents and family to do together. The project is aimed to evaluate the agency's Family Strengths and Needs assessment tool and provide updates to better serve families by focusing on areas that are lacking. As a result, the assessment language was clarified and the method of delivery improved so that future assessments will gather more accurate information. This leads to the recommendation of annual updates and planned workshops based on assessment results. Updates in return can help increase family engagement and boost families success while meeting their needs based on the families strengths and needs assessment.
