What it reported doing in 2024

Parent child+: parentchild+ (pc+) works to ensure that every child-regardless of race, income, or zip code-has equitable opportunities from the very beginning. Pc+ is built on the understanding that effective dropout prevention and long-term success start early, with parents and in the home. Today, early learning specialists who share strong community connections visit families with children ages 16-48 months twice a week, partnering with parents and caregivers to build early literacy, school readiness, and overall early opportunity. Through this consistent, relationship-based support, pc+ helps strengthen families and communities, working toward a future where all children start on a level playing field.tribal outreach: the tribal early education and outreach program (teeop) was created to address the significant gaps in early developmental screening, education, and intervention experienced by native american children ages 0-5-gaps that have only widened due to provider shortages, low screening rates, and the lasting impacts of the pandemic. As the only pediatric clinic in the region serving low-income and medi-cal-insured children, ctc launched this program to ensure that native families have access to culturally responsive developmental screenings, family education, individualized referrals, and advocacy. Staffed by experienced developmental specialists, teeop partners closely with tribal communities and regional agencies to identify developmental needs early, connect families with appropriate services, and elevate native voices in local and state systems-change efforts. This program plays a critical role in expanding equitable access to early education and intervention, strengthening family knowledge and confidence, and improving long-term outcomes for native children across our region.
