LHV operates exclusively in SF Bay Area, working with low income families and their children ages 2-5. COVID created new challenges for our organization requiring us to pivot from a home visitation program. Our investment in helping parent find their power as educators and the technology foundation we put into place, allowed to pivot and deploy our new program delivery in 3 weeks after the shut down. The parents have taken the lead in their child's preparation for school and they are doing a great job! We couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments. 1 0 5206 0 0 In our program, the child's first teachers, their parents, continue in their roles of the educator but instead of the learning being adult led, it is child led. This is a significant change in the relationship that parents have with their child, but an essential one. To help our parents make this change, our family coordinator is key. Not only is she responsible for the bi-weekly delivery learning materials to the home but maintaining a relationship with the parents. During her visits with the parents, she hears about each child's exploration and mastery. She answer questions that may have come up during the learning session. Finally she is responsible for all supportive materials development which include the video sessions regarding activity learning ideas, surveys and intake activities are done by the family coordinator as well. This close relationship is reason for our high level of parent engagement. 2069 0 0 Train and support community volunteers and parents to foster learning in a child-directed play program: Each parent and community volunteer is trained on the adult's role in child-directed play. Training includes both online training and in-person training. Each adult is provided with basic teaching materials which support the mastery of numeracy, letter recognition, color recognition and shape recognition. Ongoing training is provided through Classtag and in person visits by our family coordinator. 484 0 0 Support literacy through the building of the child's home library: Such a huge part of child's development ages 2 - 5 is language acquisition and one of the best tools for exploring the world of words and the world itself is reading. We provide a core set of books for all of our participants and then provide 2 books each month to add to their library through out the program. Parents use these books to read to their children nightly. 594 0 Support of family community through private online community technology 594 0 0 8353 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5206 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 CA X X Victoria Shoemaker 6505212478 420 Brewster Avenue Redwood City CA 94063 X Victoria Shoemaer Executive Director & Board Chair 35 0 X X 0 0 0 Emily Evans Secretary 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Andy Fukuba Treasurer 20 0 X X 0 0 0 Muffie Waterman Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Joanne Donsky Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22583 0 22583 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22583 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5206 5206 0 0 206 206 0 0 292 292 0 0 347 347 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 paypal fees 163 0 0 163 Teachers Kit 250 250 0 0 Books 233 233 0 0 Learning Activities 1819 1819 0 0 8516 8353 0 163 17264 31331 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17264 31331 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 17264 31331 17264 31331 17264 31331 14067 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 19141 22853 41994 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19141 22853 41994 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41994 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19141 22853 41994 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part III, Line 2 We launched our Learning At Home program in 2020 as a result of COVID. This program delivers open-ending learning materials, books and custom learning activities to each participants home every learning session. Each learning session contains 5 - 7 learning activities, 3 books read aloud by our storyteller, and custom learning activities specifically chosen based on their interests. Each session is introduced by videos in both English and Spanish providing different ideas on how to use the learning materials with the child. At the end of each session, the family coordinator visits to discuss the session, answer questions and share the joy of the exploration done by the child in the home and a new box is delivered.
