AFC BELIEVES THAT ALL CHILDREN, WHEN SUPPORTED BY STRONG FAMILIES AND VIBRANT COMMUNITIES, SHOULD HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUALITY EARLY LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT PREPARE THEM FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL, AND IN LIFE.

| PART III, LINE 4A | FAMILY ASSET BUILDING (FAB) Action for Children offers comprehensive wraparound support to parents and caregivers directly and through referral to community-based services; one-on-one parent coaching; workshops including but not limited to The Art of Positive Parenting; Putting the Children First and Parents Who Parent Separately; Mothers Matter; and Father Factor. In addition, AFCs New Beginnings for New Fathers program connects new dads and dads ages 16-25 to wraparound supports and tailored Father Factor classes. QUALITY INTIATIVES Action for Children ensures the Early Childhood Educator workforce is prepared to meet the increasing demands of the job through professional development and technical assistance. First, AFC offers a certified 135-hour Child Development Associate credentialing program; allowing educators to then pursue a full Associates or Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education by transferring credits and qualifying for scholarships. Second, AFC provides technical assistance and support to early learning programs (both center-based as well as home-based providers) seeking to become or increase their star-rating through Step Up To Quality (SUTQ), Ohios five star quality rating and improvement system. Third, AFC offers business development support to those who wish to become early care and education providers and for existing programs seeking to improve their sustainability and increase quality by exercising business leadership.

The Columbus Kids team also works with families to remediate any other barriers and challenges they face to meet basic needs, from health care and housing to food insecurity and more. Team members coordinate service delivery across these programs to ensure parents and children become aware and access any AFC service that would support their goals and address their needs. |
