CRADLE TO CAREER

The hallmark of the Columbia Heights Village Together (CHVT) offerings for its residents will be the
“Career to Cradle” model pioneered by such community advocates as Geoffrey Canada (Harlem
Children’s Zone) www.hcz.org and Dave Levin and Mike Feinberg (Knowledge is Power Program –
“KIPP”) www.kipp.org. Figure 1 sets forth the continuum for child and youth development under the
model:

2
Figure 1. CHVT “Cradle to Career” Continuum for Children and Youth Development

The idea approach for the cradle to career model is to begin with the creation of a “Kiddie University,” a
program that will focus on teaching basic parenting skills to young mothers, fathers and caregivers (i.e.
grandparents, legal guardians, etc.). This program will operate in 9-week series, with a follow-up
component involving outreach counselors who will continue to work with the participants up until the
time their children reach school-age (up to 3 years, theoretically). The core curriculum for the series
includes: Ages and Stages of Child Development; Child Brain Development; Punishment versus
Discipline; Safety; Health; Nutrition; and Child and Family Services.

The program will evolve into the creation of an Early Child Development program for children age 2-5
years of age. The program will include language immersion, arts, whole person development and set the
path for future success in school. The program will also borrow best practices from the Early
Start/Success by Six/Born Learning models modeled by the Headstart program and United Way of
America.

Graduates of the Early Child Development program will move on to area public or public charter schools,
with out-of-school time supports provided through mentoring, tutoring, and a homework academy, along
with a Saturday morning science and math workshop for middle and high school students.

The developmental timeline for these transitions, as stated in Table 1 is up to 2 years for the completion
of the application process for the charter school (including requisite vetting and review) and 3-5 years
before true measurable results can be analyzed. It should be noted that throughout the creation phase of
the CHVT programs for child and youth development, measurable indicators (stated on page 1 of this
developmental plan) will be monitored and used as the basis to determine the effectiveness of this
approach.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCE OFFERINGS

In addition to the development of families, children and youth through the stages of development shown
in Table 1, CHVT will be restructured to provide resources to residents, including (but not limited to):

- Information dissemination (i.e. public assistance programs, utility shutoff)

3
 - Workforce development (i.e. seminars, career fairs, etc.)
- Financial management and budgeting
- Other social service links and access as requested by residents

More information regarding the resource offerings will be provided as the restructuring process begins.
