Cumulative enrollment

During the course of a year, some children and families enroll and then move out of state or leave the program for other reasons.  During the 2010-2011 program year, CVHS served a cumulative total of:

• 393 preschool children and their families; and
• 44 pregnant women, infants, toddlers and their families.

Child outcomes and school readiness 2010-2011

• Child outcomes were assessed for three collection periods (fall, winter, and spring) during the 2010-2011 program year. 
• Data shows an increase in children’s “proficiency” ratings in all domains of learning and school readiness.  On average for all eight domains, children went from a proficiency rate of 30% in the fall to 61% in the spring, with the greatest increase in the area of Math (36% increase). 
• CVHS uses child outcomes data to inform curriculum development and classroom and home visit observations, as well as staff professional development, resource allocation and individualization for children.
