Read our GEER Grant Report!
Children Are Reaching Expectations has been a wonderful program that has empowered growth and development of the children we work with as well as their families. It has provided our staff the opportunity to enrich the skills of children, caregivers, and teachers when dealing the challenges of the last few years and the changes they brought upon our homes and communities.
With the Governor's Emergency Education Relief grant (GEER), we were able to provide C.A.R.E. services from early 2021 to the end of 2022. The C.A.R.E project was designed to address the impact that the Coronavirus Pandemic has had and continues to have on students, caregivers, and educators in Mississippi with specific focus on Metro Hinds County and communities hit heavily by COVID.
By focusing on early identification and intervention for children ages 3-20, we were able to help them further cope socially and emotionally. The innovation of this project sought to expose participants to positive ways of resolving conflicts, promote positive classroom behaviors, and enhance social skills. An evidence-based curriculum was adopted to redirect inappropriate behaviors into desired emotional intelligence - bridging the gap COVID brought between educators, providers, schools, and caregivers.
