The high cost of living in the Flagstaff area prevents many families above the FPL from affording high-quality preschool
Why
- High cost of living mixed with minimum wage increases make it hard for families to afford programming
- Families are a child’s primary teacher
- Students with engaged families attend school more regularly, earn better grades, enroll in advanced level programs and have higher graduation rates
- Families need multiple supports in a coordinated, equitable, and efficient manner
How
- Use our Elevate PreK Resource Finder to see what early learning programs you may qualify for, including the Elevate PreK Pilot classrooms
- Connect with an Elevate Family Partner to help you navigate what programs will help your family
- Build a Community Collaboration Committee that includes families and service providers to streamline ALL social services needed
