Invest Early, Early Childhood Initiative. Year 11 Evaluation Summary
Chase, Richard; Valorose, Jennifer
Wilder Research
Invest Early is a comprehensive early childhood collaborative of four school districts in Itasca County, Minnesota, that serves young children and their families with risk factors that may impede school success. Wilder Research, in conjunction with the Invest Early leadership team and staff, is conducting a longitudinal evaluation of the program. Annual reports document the implementation and assessment of Invest Early and outcomes for the service system, families, and children. Year 11 (2015-16) is defined as May 21, 2015, through May 19, 2016. In year 11, 464 children age 5 and younger and 398 families participated in Invest Early. Of the children served, 17 percent were infants or toddlers (age 2 or younger), 18 percent were preschool age (age 3), and 65 percent were prekindergarten (age 4 or older on September 1, 2015). This year, Invest Early families had a median income of $23,982 per year. This summary presents highlights of the year 11 evaluation. [For "Invest Early, Early Childhood Initiative.
