Forming Early Learning Habits: Newark ParentChild+ Families and Their Toddlers Redefine Their Homes as Learning Environments, Newark Trust for Education, August 2019
The Newark Trust for Education began implementing ParentChild+ in the summer of 2018. As the work began, their staff observed “how the home environment begins to change; how caregivers, while integrating the new elements provided by the program, build on and name elements already present in the home as essential to learning. They notice how toddlers start to use a storage bin that is provided with the program to organize their books and toys. They see the child becoming more independent: putting materials away, searching for a toy, engaging adults in previously learned play activities, or asking siblings to read to her.” In this report on their first year, the Trust explores the continuum of learning and understanding that our program can support for families with young children.
