Effects of Kindergarten Readiness on the Cradle to Career Pathway

LETTER FROM THE BY5 LEADERS We are proud to share with you Muncie & Delaware County BY5 Early Childhood Initiative, Inc.’s 2018 Annual Report, which highlights another year’s worth of strategic partnerships to better prepare youth in Delaware County for their bright futures.

With the help of continued community engagement and collaboration, BY5 has positively impacted the lives of countless children and families in the surrounding area. By developing a strong foundation before reaching Kindergarten, Delaware County’s youth are being placed on a “cradle to career” path toward success—extending well into their adult lives. Ensuring Kindergarten-readiness among children has lasting, long-term effects on our community, too. We look forward to seeing an increase in graduation rates, household incomes, and quality of place as a result of our efforts in the years to come.

Of course, there are many factors that contribute to a child’s preparation for Kindergarten, and the path to success begins as early as birth. That’s why BY5 has convened with multiple organizations across various fields and formed several strategic partnerships. As you’ll see outlined in this report, BY5 works on the local, statewide, and national levels to seek and implement the highest quality initiatives, programs, and opportunities for families in Delaware County. Without our many partners and supporters, our effect on the children in the community would not be as strong as it is today.

As we venture into the next year, we express our deepest gratitude for our partners and the resounding impact they have helped to make.

As new leaders at BY5, we are proud to see results of the work the agency has instituted, and we look forward to the change we can create in the future. We are honored to serve as BY5’s new Executive Director and Board of Directors President, and we are eager to further spread the agency’s mission as we lead BY5 through another year of intentional partnerships and community transformation.

We believe great momentum is reverberating throughout Delaware County already. Can you feel it?

Sincerely,

Missy Modesitt & Pat Botts

EARLY LEARNING SUMMIT

BY5’s Efforts Recognized as Top in the State In October, BY5 was honored with the Eli Lilly and Company 2018 Community Early Learning Champion Award at the Early Learning Summit Conference. The award recognized BY5 as a superior leader in early childhood education throughout the state.

This year’s Early Learning Summit Conference—featuring a diverse set of attendees from childcare professions, coalitions, legislation, and business sectors—was centered around the economic impact that early childhood education has on a community. Specifically, the conference analyzed the positive economic outcomes that arise when a state or community invests in early childhood education.

According to a study by Early Learning Indiana, less than half of the 337,000 kids under the age of 5 in Indiana who need care are currently enrolled in known programs. Of those who are enrolled in a program, less than 40 percent are in a high-quality program. Inadequate childcare can lead to reduced workforce productivity in the future, harming the state’s economy.

The good news? A wide variety of sectors are beginning to understand the importance of ensuring all kids have pre-K opportunities, and coalitions, like BY5, continue to gain steam throughout the state. So long as we continue to work together to increase access to high-quality pre-K and daycare, we can help ensure all kids have a strong foundation to the rest of their lives.

DIAPER BANK

BY5 & Partners Provide County-Wide Support Nearly 1,600 to 2,400 children in Delaware County are currently in need of diapers, according to poverty and ALICE estimates. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to 50 percent of diaper-aged children in our community.

To address the overwhelming need for diapers within Delaware County, BY5 started the Diaper Bank Task Force in January 2018. This group of community leaders, professionals, and existing diaper bank representatives works to increase the amount of free diapers available to families through the Diaper Bank of Delaware County, a cohesive county-wide system of supported diaper banks.

The Diaper Bank of Delaware County currently has 10 diaper banks located throughout the county. Since September, these diaper banks have distributed more than 18,000 free diapers to families in need.

BOOK DONATIONS

BY5 Promotes Literacy with Community Partners In 2018, BY5 donated 4,977 books to children and families throughout the community. Book donations are one way BY5 works to meet and exceed its mission of improving early childhood education throughout Delaware County. These books were distributed through a number of methods, including Little Free Libraries (see page 8) and community partnerships.

One of these community partnerships is Book Patrol, which saw an exciting expansion in 2018. This program started in 2017 with a partnership with the Daleville Police Department to connect kids with local police officers; this year, the program expanded to the Delaware County Sheriff ’s Department, too.

BY5 donated 20 crates of books to Book Patrol in 2018.

These crates are placed in the back of police cars, so police officers can easily hand out books to children on their patrol routes. Through this program, BY5 helps to promote literacy among all ages throughout the community, all while connecting community members with their local police officers.

BY5 has also long provided books to Open Door Health Services, where books are given to patients at their well-child visits and at special events like Open Door’s community holiday party. In December alone, BY5’s book donations allowed Open Door to “put smiles on the faces of more than 100 children as they received a brand new book from Santa,” said Suzanne Clem, Open Door’s director of community awareness.

“We know that reading and being read to is critical to our young patients’ development, and handing a child a book is one way we’re able to provide not only for medical needs, but for whole-patient health,” she said.

LITTLE LEARNERS PASSPORT

Over 2,000 Families Prepare for Kindergarten In 2017, BY5’s Early Learning Environment Task Force created the Little Learners Passport to encourage family engagement while preparing children for Kindergarten. In 2018, BY5 distributed 2,395 passports to local families.

The Little Learners Passport connects young families with the community through 100 fun brain-building activities. Engaging kids’ senses and encouraging them to interact with the environment, each activity was specifically crafted to help kids get ready for Kindergarten. Families who complete all 100 activities can drop it off or mail it to BY5 at 201 E Jackson St, Suite 400, Muncie, IN 47305 to earn free membership to Minnetrista or the Muncie Children’s Museum.

The success of the Little Learners Passport program would not be possible without the collaboration and support from community partners. Little Learners Passports can be picked up at the following locations: • YMCA downtown, Yorktown, and Northwest • Muncie Public Library – Maring-Hunt • Muncie Public Library – Kennedy Library • Muncie Public Library – Connection Corner • Motivate Our Minds • Ball State University Practicum Clinic

LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES

Connecting the Community through Books Thanks to grassroots engagement and strategic placement, Little Free Libraries continue to be a success throughout Delaware County. Since 2017, Ball State Facilities has built 20 Little Free Libraries for BY5.

Small posts throughout the community, Little Free Libraries provide free, donated books to all through a “take one, leave one” system. The libraries extend the availability of books and work to bolster childhood literacy rates throughout Delaware County.

Brad King, president of the Old West End Neighborhood Association, said that the neighborhood’s three Libraries are “consistently cycling through books,” a sign he hopes indicates an increase in reading throughout the community.

This year, Little Free Libraries continued to spread across the county, with 8 libraries built and 13 distributed. One of these Libraries can be found outside of Dorica Watson’s home.

Dorica, who is the community engagement manager at Second Harvest Food Bank, asked for a Little Free Library to be placed in front of her home to increase the community’s access to and interest in learning.

“The Watson’s Little Free Library has enhanced my love for reading and connected me to my own community. I have neighbors that I never knew until we began hosting the library,” Dorica said. “My hope is that there is a Little Free Library within walking distance from every home.”

There are currently 37 libraries registered in BY5’s network.

Through collaborated efforts, BY5 hopes to see this number continue to grow even more in the coming year.

COST OF CHILDCARE

Delaware County’s Need for High-Quality Care Delaware County currently exhibits the 2nd highest cost of childcare in the state. At an average of $10,731 each year, it is more expensive to send a child to high-quality childcare than to pay for one student’s annual tuition at Ball State University. But why does this matter?

With the cost of quality childcare programs being so high, many families are unable to afford proper care for their children. This means either the child will not be adequately prepared for Kindergarten, or a parent may have to leave their job to stay home with the child.

Studies show that quality early childcare builds the foundation of a child’s success later in life—even through adulthood. BY5 is dedicated to ensuring all children in Delaware County under the age of 6—currently more than 7,000—have access to affordable, high-quality care.

With these rising childcare costs in Delaware County, there’s an evident need for affordable, high-quality childcare in the community. That’s where On My Way Pre-K, a state-funded program, comes in. The program provides free pre-school education to eligible 4-year-olds in select communities; Delaware County is fortunate enough to be one of just 20 counties in the state to house this program. Learn more about BY5’s involvement with On My Way Pre-K on page 12.

ON MY WAY PRE-K

Increasing Access to Quality Early Education BY5 has been Delaware County’s lead agency for On My Way Pre-K since January 2018, a program that is now available in all 92 Indiana counties. By working closely with partner organizations like Huffer CCR&R and others throughout the community, BY5 has been able to provide free pre-school to more than 95 kids in Delaware County.

Delaware County’s On My Way Pre-K program currently boasts 25 diverse childcare providers, including childcare centers, home daycares, and four elementary schools in Muncie. Having a wide variety of sites allows families to choose the pre-school education program that best fits their needs and desires.

All of these childcare providers are ranked as Paths to QUALITY Level 3 or Level 4 care centers. Paths to QUALITY is a statewide ranking system of early childhood care and education programs, with Levels 3 and 4 being the highest possible rankings a center can earn—Level 4 programs even receive national accreditation. Since 2014, the number of Level 3 and 4 programs in Delaware County has more than doubled, and BY5 hopes to see that amount continue to grow.

Not only does On My Way Pre-K provide accessible, affordable, high-quality early childhood education to children in Delaware County, but the program also better situates our community for the future. Studies show that a child who is enrolled in high-quality early childhood education will establish a stronger foundation for their future success. Those with early learning experiences are more likely to have a career. This is the main driver behind BY5’s “cradle to career” pipeline.

On My Way Pre-K, which has been officially rolled out for less than a year, has already positively impacted nearly 100 children in our community. BY5 hopes to see this program continue to expand in the coming years, shaping our entire community for a stronger future.
