With the leadership of over 125 partners and input from hundreds of community members, the Isabella Project is excited to announce the location of a new early-care hub, adjacent to undeveloped land on the Briggs Elementary School property in Santa Paula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission of the Isabella Project is to ensure all children in Ventura County, starting in Santa Paula, have access to high-quality, full-time early care and education that meets their families\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Santa Paula, there are more than 2,000 children under age 5, but only 881 formal early-learning spaces. The early-care hub will create approximately 200 more spaces for early childhood education, serving children ages 0 to 5, and will include a variety of wrap-around services to better serve young children, families and childcare professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Isabella Project was a direct response to community need,\u201d said Dr. Gabino Aguirre, Isabella Project co-chair. \u201cIn Santa Paula, two-thirds of parents reported needing care for young children but not being able to access it. To meet this need, we knew we needed a comprehensive, systemic roadmap to guide the process and bring this vision to life. Finding the location for the hub was at the heart of the Isabella Project\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For at n\u00e6rme sig dette komplicerede problem har Isabella Project f\u00f8rt tilsyn med udviklingen af Santa Paula Early Childhood Education Roadmap, en systemisk, samfundsdrevet og datainformeret strategi med fokus p\u00e5 f\u00f8lgende:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Udvidet adgang og overkommelige priser<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Investering i udvikling og fastholdelse af arbejdsstyrken<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Forbedring af infrastrukturen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Inddragelse af familier og lokalsamfund<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cStudies show that by age 5, 90% of a child\u2019s brain development is completed,\u201d said Dr. Carlos Dominguez, Briggs School District superintendent. \u201cTherefore, having access to high-quality early childhood education helps prepare children so they enter school ready to learn, and ensures our students are equipped to be academically successful as well as thrive beyond the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThe Isabella Project and the City of Santa Paula are both near and dear to me,\u201d said Jack Hinojosa, Child Development Resources CEO and Isabella Project co-chair. \u201cAttending school and growing up in Santa Paula and remembering my mom\u2019s legacy as a cook (Master Chef) at Santa Paula Head Start Center for 38 years makes this all the more personal for me. Head Start programs lay the foundation for our children to have lifetimes of success by providing the lessons and support needed in the early years, and to partner closely with parents\u2014children\u2019s first teachers\u2014showing them the importance of advocating and remaining involved as their children grow and learn. Parents are the cornerstone of Head Start, and the Isabella Project provides an excellent opportunity for us to show parents how important their voices are and that they matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The initial campus is expected to be mobile buildings and an opening date for The Isabella Project has yet to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Isabella-projektet er et pilotprojekt med det form\u00e5l at sikre, at alle b\u00f8rn i Santa Paula har adgang til tidlig pasning og uddannelse p\u00e5 fuld tid af h\u00f8j kvalitet, der opfylder deres familiers behov. Denne gruppe blev f\u00f8rst indkaldt af Ventura County Community Foundation i 2021 og best\u00e5r nu af over 125 samfundspartnere fra hele Ventura County og sektorer, der sp\u00e6nder fra videreg\u00e5ende uddannelse til b\u00f8rnepasning til mental sundhedspleje og meget mere. Projektet har til form\u00e5l at v\u00e6re en model for at skabe et netv\u00e6rk af wrap-around-pleje gennem eksisterende og nye udbydere i byen, som kan kopieres i byer i hele amtet.
