Every Child Succeeds was founded by three organizations, which continue to play a unique role:
Lead Provider Agencies
At the heart of Every Child Succeeds is our home visitation program, which is made possible by 15 lead provider agencies who hire, train and supervise the home visitors who conduct home visits. All of these agencies have a proven track record of serving the children and families of our community, and work closely with Every Child Succeeds to ensure that services are provided in an effective, cost-efficient way.
Home visitors are professionals who come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines including nursing, education, child development and human services. They receive extensive training in the areas of parenting, child development, early literacy, home safety and health. Approximately 90 hours of training are required the first year. On average, these individuals serve 25 families at one time, spending about an hour weekly, biweekly or monthly with the family, depending on the child's age.
Throughout a family's participation in Every Child Succeeds, home visitors collect information about the child's development, caregiver functioning, family characteristics and community supports. Home visitors share these data with Every Child Succeeds, which allows the program to continuously evaluate and improve its services. Results are disseminated through annual report cards, professional publications and regional and national conferences.
The 17 provider agencies include:
