Key Findings

• Mothers who participated in the program experienced benefits. Mothers noted how they benefited from the program's educational and professional opportunities, such as parenting and English lessons. Mothers also noted their improved access to services, such as mental health care and increased engagement in their children's education.
• Mothers who participated in the program perceived benefits for their children. Benefits included their children's improved academic outcomes and social and emotional development.
• Students who participated in the program demonstrated several short- and longer-term educational outcomes when compared with demographically similar peers in their school district. Program participants had statistically significant higher attendance and reduced chronic absenteeism in kindergarten, though the effects appeared to diminish by third grade. The program's former students also demonstrated meaningfully higher scores on third-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics assessments.
