School Readiness

A vision of every child, thriving physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually inclusive of all social and economic status, culture, life experience, and special needs is the foundation on which SVEF's School Readiness program is built. The purpose of School Readiness is to ensure that children and families living in the SVEF service area will have the necessary health, developmental and social underpinnings to assist their success in life.

Research has shown that the emotional, physical, and intellectual environment that a child is exposed to prior to 5-years-old has a profound impact on how she/he develops. SVEF strives to deliver diverse, coordinated, and integrated programs and services to families of children ages 0-5, with the goal of equipping the child with necessary resources to enhance her/his chances at academic and social success.
