Our Impact

“AP-OD supports parents of young children to claim their voice as their children’s first teachers. It also empowers them to come out of the shadows and advocate for their children’s education.” 

“AP-OD is an incredibly comprehensive and powerful program. Our goal is to offer it to parents in all of our elementary schools. If we can accomplish this, we will no doubt see an improvement in student achievement.”

“AP-OD increases educational activities [for families with children 0 to five years old] at home. These shifts begin in the home, move into schools as children age, and eventually lead to advocacy at the community level. Parents who have participated in the program have gone on to take part in campaigns to increase early childhood funding, promote immigrant policies, and improve public school curriculum.”
