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

Para abordar este complicado problema, el Proyecto Isabella ha supervisado el desarrollo de la Hoja de ruta para la educaci\u00f3n infantil en Santa Paula, una estrategia sist\u00e9mica, impulsada por la comunidad y basada en datos que se centra en lo siguiente:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Ampliar el acceso y la asequibilidad<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Invertir en el desarrollo y la retenci\u00f3n de la mano de obra<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Mejora de las infraestructuras<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Participaci\u00f3n de las familias y la comunidad<\/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

    El Proyecto Isabella es un proyecto piloto con el objetivo de garantizar que todos los ni\u00f1os de Santa Paula tengan acceso a una atenci\u00f3n y educaci\u00f3n tempranas de alta calidad y a tiempo completo que satisfagan las necesidades de sus familias. Convocado por primera vez por la Fundaci\u00f3n Comunitaria del Condado de Ventura en 2021, este grupo se compone ahora de m\u00e1s de 125 socios comunitarios de todo el condado de Ventura y de sectores que van desde la educaci\u00f3n superior hasta el cuidado de ni\u00f1os, pasando por la salud mental y otros. El proyecto tiene como objetivo ser un modelo para la creaci\u00f3n de una red de atenci\u00f3n envolvente a trav\u00e9s de proveedores preexistentes y nuevos a trav\u00e9s de la ciudad que se puede replicar en ciudades de todo el condado.
