Readiness to Learn in Minority Francophone Communities: Report of Program Effects in Grade 1
The purpose of this report is to document the 12-month post-program impact of the Readiness to Learn in Minority Francophone Communities project (abridged titled: Readiness to Learn project; formerly the Child Care Pilot Project, CCPP), a demonstration project funded by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC). The services of the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) were retained to implement, manage, collect and analyze project data.
The project is testing a preschool program1 that combines a child care program specifically developed to meet the needs of Francophone children in minority communities with a family literacy component targeting the parents of these children. The goal of this program is to develop the child’s language skills, knowledge and use of the French language, knowledge and identification with the French culture, and to foster school readiness and overall development.
