Prevent Child Abuse South Carolina - History Prevent Child Abuse south carolina (PCASC) was created in 1975 as the Council on PEPS (parent education/parent Support) classes began in June 1998. http://www.pcasc.org/history.html
Extractions: Prevent Child Abuse America (formerly the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse) in 1983. Today we are the single statewide chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America The Council on Child Abuse and Neglect offered the first multi-disciplinary, field-specific seminar in the state in 1976. This event, started in a local church with 50 participants, has grown into a three day annual conference attended by more than 800 professionals and is highly respected throughout the Southeast. The conference exposes front-line workers to national, regional and local experts presenting "state of the art" information. In 1978, a Parent Aide program was initiated. This intensive home visitation program was the first paraprofessional, family-centered, home based prevention program of support and education for maltreating parents. The program was initially offered for Richland County residents, but is now offered in the four-county Midlands area. More than 2500 families have participated in this program since its inception.

South Carolina First Steps Overview For Parents An Early education Initiative. south carolina First Steps to school Readiness For example, some communities are focusing efforts on parent education, http://www.scfirststeps.org/overviewparents.htm
Extractions: Homepage Email us Overview An Early Education Initiative. South Carolina First Steps to school Readiness ('First Steps') is a comprehensive, results-oriented statewide education initiative to help prepare our children to reach first grade healthy and ready to succeed. Signed into law in June 1999, First Steps is for children pre-first grade and their families. Public and private support are combined through county partnerships to enable individual communities to address the unmet needs of young children and their families. Why First Steps? Nearly 1 in 7 SC children are assessed 'not ready' for first grade. In some communities, this statistic is as poor as 1 in 4, or greater. Research studies repeatedly show that children who arrive unprepared for first grade's challenges have a difficult time catching up and succeeding throughout the rest of their school years. Many of these students drop out of school or do not find fulfilling productive jobs after high school as a result of their slow start. These children's entire lives are adversely affected by their lack of school readiness, and our quality of life overall in SC suffers as well. How it works.

Early Childhood And Elementary Education The south carolina experience clearly shows that prekindergarten programs canimprove the Prekindergarten and parent Support Programs in SREB States http://www.sreb.org/programs/srr/pubs/PreK/PreK_parentsupport.asp
Extractions: Among the SREB states, the most impressive evidence of the effectiveness of early childhood education comes from South Carolina , which has been testing the readiness of children entering first grade since 1979 and has had a state-funded prekindergarten program for at-risk 4-year-olds since 1984. In 1979 only 60 percent of new first-graders met the state readiness standard; by 1998 that number had risen to 81 percent. South Carolina officials attribute the increase in readiness to the prekindergarten program, which served almost 30 percent of all 4-year-olds by 1998-99, and to the move to full-day kindergarten, which began in 1996. Readiness scores rose steadily following the introduction of the prekindergarten program, and by the early 1990s the passing rate for new first-graders had leveled off at about 75 percent. Then, in 1996-97, the Legislature provided funding for about one-third of students to move from half-day to full-day kindergarten. Funding was increased in each of the next two years until full-day kindergarten was available to all children in 1998-99.
