HOPE TOLEDO SERVICES

Hope toledo pre-k has created a comprehensive community-based approach to early childhood education and care through a unique partnership with 20 preschool providers located strategically across the northwest ohio region. Through this effort we have served over 800 children with culturally rich, evidence-based curriculum delivered by credentialed teachers receiving a living wage. The program further supports teachers through ongoing professional development and providers through business supports. Parents receive various levels of engagement and support to assist them in ensuring their child attends and participates in the program. Through the first two school years, 30% of children from hope classrooms performed at the "demonstrating level" on the kindergarten readiness assessment, which outperforms the assessments of children who did not have access to this service.
