2,000 children in high-quality pre-k

+ After leading the way to a major expansion of Philadelphia’s quality pre-K seats with the soda tax campaign heard around the world, PCCY flexed its operational muscle and arranged 20 pop-up community training sessions for upwards of 300 child care providers to ready them to expand their capacity to meet new demand. Few of the child care or pre-K providers in the City had ever contracted City of Philadelphia where contracting and payment rules are complex and cumbersome. Thanks to PCCY, they were able to meet the tight timeline to apply. Now 2,000 more children are enrolled in pre-K in Philadelphia.

50,000 more babies every year + A third of all babies born each year in Pennsylvania are being reared in our region. With the right stimulation, baby’s brains have the potential to be powerful engines of lifelong stability and happiness.

By assembling national, state and regional expertise, PCCY is poised to announce a groundbreaking strategy to put the resources wisely in place for the generations whose first birthday starts in 2018.

3,500 students loving learning + PCCY’s Picasso Project awards modest grants that spur major works by Philadelphia public school students, collaborating with local artists, community artists, and committed teachers. Partnership, innovation, and efficiency made it possible for PCCY to investn i 14 schools last year making the PCCY Picasso Project one of the largest school-based arts programs in the region. Teachers say, “our Picasso grants had a positive or extremely positive impact on student interest in the arts; Picasso helped the school tap additional arts resources.” Research conclusively shows that creative approaches to instruction that integrate arts help students learn. That’s why the Picasso Project makes sure every grantee meets with local lawmakers so they can use the evidence of the Project’s impact to push for increased local investment in arts in our schools.

Our region is more vibrant w Rising Investment in Schools

Many pundits thought it could not be done. But PCCY amplified its call to fund the schools by educating 7,000 citizens at 60 meetings across region. We recruited 1,200 new supporters for school funding and trained 136 new education advocates who made sure lawmakers understood the needs of their schools.

In response to the hard work of many advocates including PCCY, the Pennsylvania legislature finally, fully restored the funds cut from schools made in FY 2011. Despite significant fiscal constraints in Harrisburg, the state budget included $100M in new education funding— all to flow through the state’s Basic Education Funding formula.

As a founding member of the Fair Funding campaign, both the increased funding and utilization of the funding formula spoke to the resiliency of the campaign and its impact on the political landscape. Despite fears to the contrary, investing in schools was a clear priority for the state. nt when every child is a vibrant learner AWARDS
