Ounce of Prevention Fund 11 Annual Report 2007 2 Behind every smile...every touch...every word... 1 1 is a wealth of information for a baby. “The world is a safe place...Your actions produce reactions...You are worthy of love...”Responsive care shapes the world that babies experience and their very image of themselves. These are the lessons of a baby’s first teachers, and the foundations of all that a child will become.

The Ounce of Prevention Fund is a public-private partnership committed to program and policy innovation on behalf of young children in poverty. Throughout our 25-year history, we have developed, implemented, and expanded research-based programs that help children from birth to age five develop the foundations for long-term success in school and in life. 2 Change comes slowly; but over 25 years, the Ounce of Prevention Fund has helped create paths to education reform in Illinois and throughout the nation. In 2007, the Ounce marked its 25th year. Since our founding, we have pursued 3 a single vision: to help our most vulnerable children develop strong foundations from which they can grow into healthy, capable young people who are able to succeed in school and life. We have always focused on promoting the well-being of the whole child: her physical, emotional, and intellectual development—in the context of the relationships that are most important to her. All of our work in program development, training, advocacy, and research grows out of this vision.

This year, some of our long-term efforts have come to fruition: evidence from our doula program that investing in a child’s development even before birth yields real changes in teen parents’ behavior; increased funding for programs supporting children’s and mothers’ mental health; preliminary results from our Educare program that we are narrowing the achievement gap before kindergarten; and a growing network of like-minded change agents who have built Educare Centers in five states around the country, with five more centers in active planning.

While we are encouraged by this progress, we know that as our economy demands greater skills from its workforce, the achievement gap continues to grow, and too many children begin falling behind in their earliest months of life.

We call our work “education reform” because we believe that the old educational paradigm is insufficient for our country’s most vulnerable children. We will never address the achievement gap by beginning at kindergarten. Education begins at birth, and includes helping young children develop self-control, motivation, and perseverance, as well as reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. We hope the following pages give you some idea of how we work across several fronts to help children build the foundations that will improve their chances for a healthy, productive life.

Why is Social-Emotional Development Important?

5 Learning is an interactive process that depends 5 on the integration of multiple abilities and skills. Social, emotional, and cognitive competencies evolve together. Many of the qualities that determine success in school and life—self- control, initiative, perseverance—are built on the foundations of a child’s earliest experiences and interactions.

A child begins to develop language the first time he looks into another person’s eyes. Eye contact is the first step in a long process of responsive interaction that teaches a baby the basic concept of communication and lays the foundation for his understanding of the words used to describe the objects, actions, and states that define his world. Children develop larger vocabularies, increased conceptual understanding, and more complex sentence structure when they are attended to by adults who greet their emerging use of language by naming the objects in their gaze, expanding their one- or two-word phrases, and showing interest in their activities. In contrast, children who spend most of their time in chaotic, unresponsive situations develop language more slowly and are likely to be behind their peers even before entering preschool. Language is not the only product of responsive care early in life. Research has shown that children who receive consistent, responsive care from their parents and other caring adults in infancy are more likely to approach the world with confidence, curiosity, and initiative, better able to calm themselves after disruptions, and more able to interact positively with their peers and teachers. Children who receive inconsistent, unreliable, or unresponsive care as infants run a greater risk of aggressive or withdrawn behaviors, are less willing to explore and learn, and often have difficulty regulating their emotions. The Ounce’s prenatal and home visiting programs and training help parents develop the experience and knowledge to express their love for their children through responsive, appropriate care. Teachers and social workers at our Educare Center develop long-term, secure relationships with some of Chicago’s most vulnerable children in partnership with their parents over the course of five years. Our goal is to help infants, toddlers, and preschoolers develop strong foundations on which to build the skills needed to succeed in formal education. Doula

6 “She taught me that it was important to be happy while I was pregnant because the baby could be affected by my feelings. She told me my milk couldn’t be full of tears.” Tay, a doula participant

Shawondra Stewart is on 24-hour call. She has to be. One of her girls might need her. She has been a doula, or birth assistant, for about four years, and says this work is in her DNA. Her grandmother would travel to different towns, sometimes across swamps, to help women go through labor and teach them about their babies. Now Shawondra does the same for young pregnant teens from homes with multiple risk factors, particularly poverty. “Your life is not over. There are things you need to accomplish, especially now,” Shawondra tells the teens she serves. “What’s changed is that you have someone who depends on you.” As a doula, she encourages, teaches, explains, and offers ongoing support to teens during a most vulnerable time. She provides practical information about the physical needs of a baby; but just as critical, she introduces young mothers to the importance of the social and emotional health of their babies. She explains the medical benefits of breastfeeding and the deeper attachment to a child that comes through this intimacy. This is the core of the work: modeling the kind of relationship these girls can have with their babies so their children will feel the safety and security of attachment to their mother. This mother-child connection is the founda- tion for a child’s healthy social and emotional development, and, with the help of doulas, it begins even before the child is born. Facts and Figures 7

The Ounce successfully piloted a doula model in 1996 that is now publicly funded and helps low-income teens throughout Illinois. In our model, doula services, which last from the third trimester of pregnancy into the first few months of parenthood, are embedded in home visiting programs that support young parents through the first year of their babies’ lives. The doula program includes:

G 22 program sites in Illinois with doulas G 44 doulas G 698 teen parents served each year

Of teens who participate in our home visiting program with a doula component:

G 61% show an increase in scores on maternal efficacy, i.e., how competent they feel as parents, during their time in the program; G 87% ensure that their children’s medical visits are up to date. Home Visiting

8 “I’m seeing the moms grow as 8 individuals and as mothers. I see them learn to read their babies’ cues.” Amy Gorens, Family Assessment Specialist

When Patricia found out she was pregnant, she was scared and didn’t know what to do. She was 18. Patricia found out about home visiting after inquiring about a car seat for her baby. Through the home visits, she realized she needed something else. “I had postpartum depression. I saw the baby in front of me and I was like, ‘Oh my. What do I do?’ For a while, I couldn’t even touch my daughter.” Things have changed. Working with a trained professional who spent time in her home, Patricia’s emotional state improved. She learned what it means to be a parent and how to work through her own struggles to communicate with her daughter more positively. Now, Patricia under- stands how her actions—the sound of her voice, the way she holds her child, and more—affect her daughter’s healthy social and emotional growth. Her relationship with her home visitor has helped Patricia find the courage to dream for her daughter’s future—which has meant improving her own. She enrolled in school to study physical therapy. Regular home visits in a child’s first year allow home visitors to spend time with families, helping them develop habits that support a child’s earliest growth and development. Home visitors build relationships with parents that create an atmosphere of encouragement and validation. Over time, families become more open to other services that may be needed, services they may have been reluctant or unsure how to ask about before. Decades of research demonstrates that home visiting is an effective strategy to support young children's healthy development. Just ask Patricia. “I am 100 percent different,”she says. “It’s not only about me.” 9 Facts and Figures 9

Appropriately trained service providers are the key to a program’s effectiveness. The Ounce’s Illinois Birth to Three Institute, formerly known as Parents Too Soon, provides intensive, ongoing training to help program staff fully implement research-based program models so that children and families receive the highest quality services. In 2007, the Illinois Birth to Three Institute:

G trained 378 service providers who served a total of 4,972 families; G supported home visitors working with Parents Too Soon, Healthy Families, Doula, Nurse/Family Partners, Parents as Teachers, and Baby TALK; G provided 177 days of training for site staff members throughout Illinois; G piloted maternal depression screening in 6 sites in preparation for expanding screening to all home visiting programs in the state. Educare

10 “If he’s having a real hard day, he’ll go and sit alone because he knows he needs time away. He’ll ask for a hug. He can regroup and pull himself together and start all over again.” Alyia Dixon, Educare Teacher, discussing one of the children in her classroom.

David* is only three feet tall, but his presence is huge. He looks for his teachers when he arrives at the Educare Center to offer them a smile, and never leaves without giving them a hug. Energetic, curious, and observant, he shares toys and has learned how to invite other children to play with him. Now three years old, David has learned to use language to express how he feels. David is one of the more than 150 children we serve at the Educare Center of Chicago. At Educare, children from six weeks of age to five years old are welcomed into infant/toddler and preschool classrooms that are filled with age-appropriate educational materials and, most important, caring, responsive teachers. Educare is our “learning laboratory,”where we work to apply the best practices of early childhood education and care in a real-life setting with public funding and teachers from the community. Our teachers exemplify the principle that children thrive when learning within the context of relationships with caring adults. Many children at Educare began life with the odds stacked against them: a teen mom with an unfinished education, troubled relationships, and an unstable home environment. Fortunately, Educare’s infant/toddler program is designed to promote continuity of care, and allows children to build a secure attachment relationship with a primary teacher who nurtures them for a full three years. Through continuity of care, teachers are able to learn their children’s moods, help them to feel safe, understood, and valued, and provide stability in their lives. Equally important, teachers establish trusting relationships with the parents to help them find ways to support their child’s development. Yes, the children at Educare learn their letters and numbers; but research shows that children’s cognitive growth is inextricably linked to their social and emotional maturation. This is why we focus on the whole child.

*To protect our children, “David” is a composite portrait of many of the children we serve at Educare. Facts and Figures 11

The Educare Center of Chicago has:

G 8 infant-toddler classrooms G 5 preschool classrooms G 55 teachers, teacher aides, and family support staff

At the Educare Center, children learn to do many things that help prepare them to succeed in kindergarten, including:

G control their emotions G take initiative G problem solve G take turns

Since 2002, the Buffett Early Childhood Fund and the Ounce (Bounce) have created the Bounce Learning Network, a consortium of Educare Centers throughout the country supported by a growing group of like-minded philanthropists. The centers provide high-quality care and education for young children in their communities, serve as tangible examples of the kind of care that is possible and necessary for all children, and provide platforms for substantive policy change. By the end of 2007, there were Educare Centers in these cities:

G Chicago G Omaha G Milwaukee G Tulsa G Denver with plans for at least five more. Advocacy

12 “I shared my story to raise this issue to the forefront and speak for those unable to speak for themselves. By giving your support to this legislation, you will help save many women, children, and families from the pain and heartache my family and I suffered.” Mary Fitzpatrick Howorth, a woman who suffered from postpartum depression and fought for better public policy.

She was tired of eating, tired of the crying, and tired of her baby. Mary Fitzpatrick Howorth was tired of life. She had a wonderful child, an adoring husband, health insurance, and access to prenatal care. But, none of her doctors ever asked how she was feeling – and why would they? There was no training for doctors about perinatal depression; no state policy to enforce screening for postpartum depression; and no insurance company reimbursement for this initial screening. Mary was fortunate. Her family intervened. There are thousands of other women for whom the outcome is not so bright. Mary spoke to the Illinois General Assembly about her battle with postpartum depression, and advocates from all sides of the issue joined her fight. Together, in 2007, we celebrated the passage of the Perinatal Depression and Mood Disorders Prevention and Treatment Act—the first of its kind in the country. It requires medical professionals to provide mothers with information about perinatal mood disorders, and offers new mothers a depression screen at various intervals during pregnancy and in their child’s first year of life. Facts and Figures 13

The Ounce understands how a mother’s health affects her child’s early growth and development. We advocate on behalf of young children at risk, not only for access to preschool and better child care, but for substantive health-related legislation that provides families access to services that open doors to a child’s long-term success in school and in life.

In 2007, the Ounce and its partners successfully advocated for legislation with a focus on social and emotional health. Among the accomplishments:

G Passage of the Perinatal Depression and Mood Disorders Prevention and Treatment Act. The first of its kind in the country, it requires healthcare workers to offer voluntary postpartum depression screening to mothers at various points during pregnancy and through the child’s first year of life.

G $1.75 million expansion in funding for services focused on children’s social and emotional health, including mental health consultation and Illinois’ first early childhood mental health treatment program through community mental health centers.

G Passage of the Licensed Clinical Social Worker Reimbursement Act, allowing licensed clinical social workers to bill Medicaid directly for treatment services, increasing the number of young children and their families who can access critical mental health services.

G Co-convened the Perinatal Depression Summit to develop strategies for creating a comprehensive and coordinated system of services for women, their children, and families who suffer from perinatal depression. 2007 Annual Report Year-At-A-Glance
