DescHealthChildren Now's health programs focus on ensuring that children pre-natal through 26 have meaningful access to high-quality, affordable health care, including physical, mental, and oral health services, and other key services like home visiting, and developmental screenings that are vital for California's youngest children. Through our health efforts, we have achieved the following: led efforts to improve Medi-Cal access to and quality of care for children and families, including strengthening the Medi-Cal Children's Health Advisory Panel; worked with our partners to ensure expanded health coverage to nearly 218,000 undocumented children; continued our leadership efforts to promote developmental screenings and early interventions for California's infants and toddlers; built momentum behind expanding and enhancing home visiting programs in California, including coordinating efforts to support reauthorization of the Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting program and providing significant technical assistance and field engagement to support legislation that would create a home visiting program; coordinated efforts to improve how data about incoming kindergarteners oral health is collected and reported; advocated for the successful release of Medi-Cal developmental screenings data to help identify the barriers to infants and toddlers receiving required health screenings; supported several efforts to help prevent and mitigate child adversity; led advocacy efforts to prevent cuts to the children's mental health crisis continuum.Desc

DescEducationChildren Now's education program aims to ensure every child has access to high-quality early learning opportunities, a rigorous TK-12 education, and quality afterschool and summer programs. Through research and analysis, policy development, education and outreach, communications, convenings and advocacy, we have achieved the following: united hundreds of stakeholders who helped raise income eligibility guidelines for families seeking child care and ensured a multi-year funding commitment to expand the state preschool program for low-income families; made significant progress towards building a transparent and student- focused education accountability system that helps ensure all children graduate from high school ready for college, career and civic life; promoted major revisions to education and program standards for all new teachers and administrators, including social-emotional learning, positive classroom environment, restorative justice, discriminatory practices, personal and institutional bias, cultural responsivity, mental health and trauma; worked with diverse local organizations to strengthen local districts' commitment to quality early childhood programs; led efforts to improve school climate and help curb the disproportionate rates of suspension and expulsion among at-risk populations; expanded the membership of the California STEM Network and engaged the Network in key STEM policy issues, including efforts to make it easier for STEM professionals to become math and science teachers, and supporting the implementation of the state's computer science standards and updating teacher preparation and credentialing requirements to align with the Next Generation Science Standards; led communications and outreach efforts to ensure successful implementation of the Common Core standards; continued work to secure transparent and accessible data in the state's longitudinal student data system, including leading efforts to collect critical attendance data (chronic absence).Desc

DescChild WelfareChildren Now's child welfare program works to address the comprehensive health, education, and social service needs of children in the child welfare system. Through our efforts, we have achieved the following: led efforts to secure funding for the Emergency Child Care Bridge Program for Foster Children, which provides emergency vouchers for foster families to access child care at the time of placement; led efforts to achieve fundamental improvements to the state's foster care system, including implementation of Continuum of Care Reform (CCR), which ensures that foster youth living with relative caregivers are eligible for critical supplemental payments; helped secure funding for emergency placements with caregivers who are not yet approved as resource families, given the backlog to process and approve families; advocated for a trauma-informed standard assessment tool of youth's needs and strengths, which will help professionals to ensure youth receive core services and better placement decisions; ensured the Foster Parent Recruitment, Retention and Support (FPRRS) was sufficiently funded; improved the Medi-Cal enrollment and retention processes for former foster youth and supported the ongoing provision of health coverage to former foster youth through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including conducting surveys to provide insight about youth's experiences accessing and retaining Medi-Cal and helping to prevent enrollment barriers for out-of-state former foster youth; worked with partners to secure funding to reduce caseloads so dependency attorneys can more effectively advocate for appropriate placements and placement stability for foster children.Desc

DescResearch and Data CollectionChildren Now produces comprehensive reports, fact sheets, infographics, and policy briefs on topics related to each of our program areas, and provides data support related to children's well-being to a wide range of state and local stakeholders and community members. We produce two marquee publications: 1) the California Report Card, which provides up-to-date data on the status of California's children, addresses recent policy developments, and delivers recommendations for improving children's well-being, and 2) the California County Scorecard of Children's Well Being, which provides policymakers, advocates and community leaders with a much-needed means of measuring and analyzing children's well-being at the county and state level over time, by race and ethnicity, and relative to other counties. This online advocacy and data tool includes easy-to-read graphics depicting counties' unique strengths and vulnerabilities in meeting children's needs. We also released several data profiles, including a report on community survey results related to enrolling low-income children- regardless of their immigration status-into Medi-Cal health coverage; and a number of county-level case studies highlighting oral health data. Both of our marquee publications, as well as numerous data reports and briefs, are widely distributed to state and local policy makers, the media, service providers, civic organizations and the general public. Outreach efforts and briefings around these publications and other data reports, as well as the widespread media coverage generated by their release, motivate policymakers and key stakeholders to make children's concerns a top priority.Desc
