About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to build a community that supports parents and caregivers as a child's first and most influential teacher.
About
Early Birds is a free school readiness program for parents of children pre-birth to five years, provided in partnership with school districts and community partners in Central Oklahoma. Parents attend 90-minute classes three times per year where they learn about their child's health and development, discipline strategies, and opportunities for everyday learning. At each class parents receive a kit of educational toys and books tailored to their child's age. In 2018-19 we distributed 3,961 Early Birds kits to over 2,500 families. Parents who participate in Early Birds report feeling more confident in their parenting abilities and are more likely to be involved in their child's education. Furthermore, Early Birds children consistently outperform their peers on kindergarten entry assessments.
