Story Behind the Curve

The Parent Child Centers (PCC) worked collaboratively with the Child Development Division to create performance measures that are consistent across all PCC grants. Data on the number of parents/caregivers served is a count of individuals served by the PCC core services. This is a duplicated count of people. The number of individuals served can vary in by the time of year and activities available during that time. Regular increases and decreases are expected in this performance measure and no target has been set.

Partners

PCC's partner with many local, regional and state agencies to provide support to families. This includes libraries and other public spaces for playgroups, food shelves, mental health agencies and more.

What Works

Parent Child Centers reported that a variety of strategies work. These include building peer support for families into their programming; having multiple supports available to families at one location, including mental health and concrete supports; targeting supports, especially to fathers; and building and maintaining relationships in the community with other service providers.

Action Plan

Each Parent Child Center has a different plan of action to increase the number of families served, often these plans come from a peer review process. Highlights of the plans include:

  • Increase staffing in community locations, including public libraries
  • Embed family education staff in community playgroups
  • Build on partnerships to expand playgroup options
  • Increase engagement with Building Bright Futures
  • Have a community resource fair
  • Seek alternative/additional funding
  • Cross training staff to address the complex needs of families
  • Creating new outreach materials and using social media
  • Implementing Community Cafes
