2 DEDICATED TO PROMISING FUTURES

Early childhood experiences are one of the most powerful predictors of a child’s healthy development. Decades of research show that the first five years of life are a key time to develop linguistic, cognitive, social and emotional abilities – the essential skills that enable a child to learn and succeed. And yet, each year, more than 1 million children in the U.S. enter kindergarten unprepared to learn and thrive, both in the classroom and beyond. Failing our children early in their lives puts them at a disadvantage for years to come – in school, and ultimately, in adult life. For nearly 40 years, the Ounce of Prevention Fund has advocated for and provided high-quality care and education from birth to age 5 – a mission we continue to passionately pursue. Our work continues to evolve along with the needs of the families and communities we serve. Over the course of this year, we have grown our reach by expanding access to high-quality programs and family support services, contributing groundbreaking research to the field, creating innovative professional development offerings, and securing strong policies and systems on the local, state and national levels. Through our multidisciplinary approach of leveraging research, policy and practice together, we can deliver a greater impact. To truly transform early childhood education systems across the country, we must address systematic barriers through knowledge transfer, systems change and collective action. In the coming year, the Ounce will continue to steward a robust effort to build a knowledge exchange that connects communities and experts who are focused on building strong early childhood systems and programs. This work is intended to influence collective learning and quality programs at-scale, so a tipping point of evidence ultimately drives increased investments in early childhood programs. As we look forward to 2020 and beyond, we are committed to help communities nationwide prepare millions of children in poverty to enter kindergarten ready for success in school and life.

Thank you,

Diana Mendley Rauner Curt R. Bailey Ph.D., President Chairman

7 SERVING CHILDREN & FAMILIES

Delivering quality prenatal-to-age-five services and programs to children and families, especially those living in underserved communities, continues to be the core of our work. In 2019, we worked to ensure that even more children and families have access to quality programs and resources, both in and across the country.

HIGH-QUALITY PROGRAMS Illinois Birth-to-Three Institute (IBTI) & FAMILY SUPPORT launched a pilot program providing doula and home visiting services to incarcerated pregnant Family Connects Illinois (FC IL) offers all women.

9 LEARNING IN ACTION

The Educare Learning Network is the nation’s most diverse and effective network of early childhood schools. The Ounce opened the Network’s first school, Educare , in 2000, which has since been the backbone for the Network. The Network of 23 operational schools served 3,800 children during the 2018– 2019 school year.

Educare Schools: In 2018, Educare parentsin all aspects of their child’s early learning at Long Beach, the Network’s 23rd school, opened experience.This year, staff and parents from five in its permanent space, serving nearly 200 children Educare schools convened to explore the expansion and their families.

10 GARDEN GOODNESS

Educare Chicago is home to a community garden filled with heads of green cabbage, bright red tomatoes, colorful pinwheels and handmade suncatchers. Run in partnership with Urban Growers, the garden provides a space where children and teachers learn to plant and care for a variety of herbs and vegetables. This year, the garden was expanded to include natural play spaces and work benches for exploration activities. Parents can take home harvested vegetables to prepare healthy, home-cooked meals. Families can also participate in the Cooking Matters program, where they learn to make healthy dishes, from bean burgers to vegetable sandwiches. While fun and engaging, activities are intentional and based on research-supported family engagement practices. Educare Chicago cultivates positive, interactive relationships between program staff, children and parents – all essential elements of a nurturing and supportive learning environment for young children.

11 11 ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE

Our policy work is deeply rooted in Illinois, where we seek to shape the state’s early childhood system through legislative, administrative and grassroots advocacy. The Illinois Policy Team works diligently to ensure that state funding and legislation and federal and state initiatives prioritize early childhood programs. Our National Policy Team builds on lessons learned in Illinois and other states to provide consultation to early childhood advocates, the Educare Learning Network and state and local systems’ leaders. Our achievements result from deep partnerships with advocates and leaders across the country who are committed to expanding and improving early childhood education for all children.

DRIVING CHANGE IN ILLINOIS Advocacy in 2019 resulted in an additional $100 million investment in early childhood programs in the state’s budget, including a $12 million increase to the Department of Human Service’s Early Intervention program. This increase accommodates a growing caseload, supports a long-overdue rate increase and expands eligibility. Our state advocates also successfully lobbied for $100 million in facilities funding for school districts and child care centers.

California: First 5 Los Angeles and First 5 Maine: After three years of advocacy by early partnered with the Ounce to host childhood leaders and legislators, and with a childhood policy conference to discuss Ounce support, the state passed legislation advancing early education reforms in the state. and appropriated funding to establish a mental Recommended policy reforms were adopted by health consultation program for early childhood Governor Gavin Newsom in his FY2020 budget providers. request, resulting in over $2 billion dedicated to Oregon: With the Oregon Early Learning Division early childhood programs. and the Children’s Institute, the Ounce helped : Our policy team partnered with develop proposals that became part of a historic advocates to help develop a case for support for investment of $2 billion during the 2019 legislative increased early education funding. As a result, session. Twenty percent of the budget will now a bipartisan commission secured an increase fund early childhood programs and services. of $18.8 million for early education, the first increase in a decade.

12 COLLABORATING WITH STATE PARTNERS

The Partnership for Pre-K Improvement (PPI) was launched in 2016 in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Alliance for Early Success and the University of Washington. The goal of PPI, a collaboration with three state partners (Washington, Oregon and Tennessee), is to strengthen quality and access to early education at both the state and local levels. Using the Ounce’s unique program, policy and research expertise, PPI provides pre-K leaders with the tools and resources they need to provide better early education opportunities for all children and families.

13 TRANSFORMATION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL Through extensive policy, government relations and communications expertise, the First Five Years Fund (FFYF) works with federal policymakers to galvanize support for greater investment and policies that increase access to high-quality early learning and care. FFYF’s advocacy in Washington D.C. has contributed to significant achievements. At the beginning of the 116th Congress, FFYF developed a set of legislative priorities for Congress that included key areas through which lawmakers might advance early childhood programs and initiatives. Included in that agenda was a recommendation for members to double down in their support for existing programs like the Child Care & Development Block Grant, Head Start and Preschool Development Grants. FFYF also encouraged lawmakers to develop new and innovative solutions to the many child care challenges faced by American families. To date, Republicans and Democrats alike have introduced nearly 140 bills that would strengthen and expand early learning opportunities.

Total GOP IND DEM 81% 62% 81% 96%

Results from FFYF survey, conducted November 2018

Republicans, Independents and Democrats all support proposals that will help more families access high-quality early learning and care opportunities, including increased federal funding to states to create or build on their own programs that directly help low-income children: 54% strongly support; 81% support. 14 RESEARCH TO ADVANCE THE MISSION

17 LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: COLLECTIVE IMPACT

Improving access to and quality of early education for all children and families requires an ambitious, collaborative effort. It calls for alignment among communities, organizations and policymakers working together toward a common goal. Most importantly, communities across the country need better access to the knowledge and resources required to eliminate barriers keeping children from receiving the quality early learning opportunities they deserve.

By driving standardization and collective learning across the early childhood field, the Ounce aims to create a tipping point where evidence of quality programs accumulates to influence increased public investment in early childhood education.

Drawing upon almost 40 years of work in early education, the Ounce is in a unique position to spearhead the development of a robust learning community and knowledge network. We hope to connect communities and experts focused on strengthening early childhood systems across the country by building a knowledge exchange (with an online platform and in-person initiatives).

Through dedicated knowledge transfer and by leading collective action, the Ounce will support efforts nationwide to build equitable, high- quality early childhood systems at-scale. Together, we must ensure that the millions of children in poverty enter kindergarten ready-to-learn, ultimately leading to success in school and life.
