Evaluation of Illinois Action for Children's Community Connections Caregiver Clusters program: Final report

Description:
This report details findings from an evaluation of the Illinois Action for Children (IAFC) Community Connections Caregiver Clusters (CCCC) program pilot that was conducted at two public elementary schools with Head Start classrooms in Chicago's North Lawndale community during the 2012-2013 school year. The purpose of the CCCC program was to enhance social networks and access to community resources and to increase involvement in early childhood programming among low-income parents and caregivers of young children. The focus on social capital building and school and community engagement among parents and caregivers was a strategy for improving school readiness outcomes for children given the strong evidence base for the positive relationship between parental well-being, parental involvement, and positive child outcomes.
