AFC’s Early Childhood Education Project provides individual case assistance, community education, and policy advocacy to improve access and equity in early childhood education so that all children enter kindergarten prepared to succeed.
The first five years of children’s lives are a crucial period in their development. We help families navigate the City’s various early childhood education programs and work to remove barriers that prevent low-income families from accessing services during these key years, with a focus on young children with developmental delays or disabilities, children from immigrant families, and children in temporary housing.
“Joseph는 지난 6개월 동안 잘 성장했습니다! 그의 사건을 부지런히 처리하고 작년에 지원 서비스를 확보해 주셔서 감사합니다. 당신이 그에게 일하고 성취할 수 있는 기회를 제공하기 위해 그렇게 열심히 일하지 않았다면 그는 이런 진전을 이루지 못했을 것이라고 확신합니다!”
