Our Approach

Partnerships Across Sectors

Every Child Shines works with partners across sectors recognizing that there are multiple factors that impact kindergarten readiness. The ECS Action Teams are working to build an East Boston where this is possible.

Needs-Based Referrals

Every Child Shines is committed to connecting families to resources and expanding awareness of how to access needed supports. ECS recognizes that improving kindergarten readiness requires that families are supported holistically.

Parent Partner Team

Parent Partners reach out to, meet, and develop relationships with families to connect them with resources and support networks related to child development, economic mobility, and well-being. They also have monthly professional development opportunities to ensure they have the resources and knowledge to best support families.
