Telamon Corporation Family Literacy Program has two components: a parenting skills series and a home visitation program which focuses on literacy skills. Professionals facilitate two 10-week parenting skills series and an interpersonal problem-solving skills program for parents with children birth to 5.
During the 2008-2009 fiscal year, 428 child care providers reported an increase in knowledge as a result of technical assistance and educational opportunities available to them.
By offering professional development, educational opportunities and technical assistance to more than 83% of Wake County’s child care teachers, Wake County SmartStart positively impacted the quality of child care by increasing the skill of child care professionals.
In FY 2008-2009, Wake County SmartStart funded services and activities through which almost 70% of child care facilities in Wake County received consultation and training, resulting in more highly-trained child care workers, which is critical to the quality of care a child receives.
