Strategies for Increasing Enrollment and Attendance in Early Learning Programs
Santa Clara County early learning statistics reveal that roughly 67% of eligible kindergarteners and 45% of eligible transitional kindergarteners are enrolled in public early learning programs. Our county’s collective goal to increase enrollment and attendance in preschool, transitional kindergarten, and kindergarten is essential to ensuring that every child has a strong foundation for success in school and life. School principals and other school site leaders are key and trusted messengers for the parent community.
Please join us for a collaborative session to:
Learn about the Steps to Success campaign and how it can help local schools engage families and promote long term success for our earliest learners
Interact with the Steps to Success Toolkit – a resource for school leaders to communicate with families and inform school site efforts to address enrollment and attendance
Learn about the impact of enrollment and consistent attendance in children’s lives
Hear about the findings from the Steps to Success family input groups who guided the development of key messaging ideas to reach families in Santa Clara County
Access outreach and attendance resources developed through the county’s Steps to Success campaign
Collaborate with colleagues to exchange best practices around increasing attendance and enrollment in early learning programs
Sessions will be held virtually and offered bi-monthly at 9:00-10:30 AM on the second Wednesday of every other month starting in Febuary 2022.
