In 2008 FKC's Kin As Teachers (KAT) program received a national award for being one of three most innovative programs to serve young children in the USA. KAT is an early childhood/caregiver support and education program that serves kinsihp caregivers raising children from birth to Kindergarten entry. Based on the Parents As Teachers program, it is designed to enhance child development and school achievement through caregiver education, increasing children's school readiness and early detection of developmental delays. Program components include case management, screening, home visits, and group meetings.
It is a nice program; they help me with Gerard and with a lot of everyday things. It has helped me a lot, especially for the kids, I had no idea what I was going to do with all 5 of the kids during the summer but the program helped me put them in a summer day camp. The counselor that comes out to my home is very helpful. It has been a really great program for us. |
