Early Learning Council Goals
THE GOALS Children ready for success in kindergarten when they
arrive. Children raised in stable and attached families. Services that are integrated and aligned into one
early learning system focused on results.
WHAT IS AN EARLY LEARNING HUB? A self-organized community-based coordinating body
created to provide a “system approach” to early childhood education that works to improve efficiency and outcomes for our youngest children.
Early Learning Hubs
Early Learning Hubs
EARLY LEARNING HUB WILL Build on existing community resources and assets Ask tough questions about what could be done
differently to get better results, especially for at risk children
Communities have the option to define their own strategies and service areas to achieve the outcomes
Under the community based leadership of Early Learning Hubs bring public schools, early learning providers, health care, social services and the private sector together around shared outcomes, for the first time in Oregon’s history.
OUTCOMES & METRICSEARLY LEARNING HUBS
Presentation byPam CurtisMegan Irwin
Why outcomes matter?
EARLY LEARNING HUB OUTCOMES
45,000 children born each year315,000 ages 0-640% at risk (n=~120,000)$380+ million per year focused on prevention
$1.7 billion per biennia on young children/families
Serving 25-33% of at-risk children
Outcomes: Why bother?
Our results
On the 2013 Kindergarten Assessment 33% of entering kindergartners could name 5 or fewer letters and 14% couldn’t name any letters.
37% couldn’t identify a single letter sound. About half of our kindergartners could answer at least half of the questions correctly.
25% of entering kindergartners did not regularly demonstrate skills like completing tasks and following directions.
Outcomes we’re measuring
Kindergarten readiness Increasing the number of quality education and care
settings (QRIS) Increasing performance on the domains measured by
the Kindergarten Assessment.
Stable and attached families Increasing the number of children who receive
developmental screening prior to age three. Increasing the number of children with access to
primary care. Reducing child abuse and neglect.
System coordination Reducing administrative overhead. Improving the ways programs coordinate into a
system.
Unpacking our outcomes
EARLY LEARNING HUB OUTCOMES
A quick word on data sources
The state has the data you need to set accountability baselines.
Staff assembling baseline data upon receipt of letter of interest.
Kindergarten Readiness – Quality Care and Education Settings
The Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) is our measurement for the quality of licensed child care and educational settings.
The QRIS measures quality at five tiers: Licensing – basic health and safety Commitment to Quality – commitment to move beyond basic health and safety.
Three, Four and Five Stars – escalating sets of standards focused on improving quality.

Family Stability – Developmental Screening
Early identification of risk is important to prevention.
Developmental growth is not just physical. Less than 50% of children who need extra support get it before school.
Healthcare and childcare are critical developmental opportunities.
Opportunity for creativity abounds!
Family Stability – Developmental Screening
Baseline Targeted Year 2 Improvement:
Targeted Year 3 Improvement:
Increase the number of children who receive developmental screening prior to age three
Number of children in target population who receive developmental screening prior to age three:
% increase of children in target population who receive developmental screening prior to age three: ___%
% increase of children in target population who receive developmental screening prior to age three: ___%
Family Stability – Access to primary care
Healthy children are Ready; Ready children are Healthy.
Primary care home is an approach – much like Hubs.
Primary care home is the anchor for health care and linkage to other needed services.
Primary care homes and family resource managers are on-point for coordination.
Family Stability – Access to primary care
Baseline Targeted Year 2 Improvement:
Targeted Year 3 Improvement:
Increase the number of children with access to a Patient Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH):
Number of children in target population with access to a PCPCH:
% increase of children in target population with access to a PCPCH: ___%
% increase of children in target population with access to a PCPCH: ___%
Family Stability – Reducing child abuse and neglect
Children are best raised in families. Healthy, stable and attached families raise the healthiest children.
Oregon has the 13th highest foster care rate in the nation.
Renewed statewide effort and resources. The role of an Early Learning Hub in making progress in this area should really focus on child neglect and abuse prevention.
Family Stability – Reducing child abuse and neglect
Baseline Year 2 Trends Targeted Year 3 Improvement:
Decrease the number of children and families involved with the child welfare system as measured by:- Decreasing the number of children age 0 through 6 who enter foster care. - Decrease the number of children age 0 through 6 who return to foster care. - Increase the number of children involved with the child welfare system who are served safely and equitably at home.
Number of children age 0 through 6 who enter foster care:
Hub will observe trends in the number of children age 0 through 6 who enter foster care.
Number of children age 0 through 6 who enter foster care: ___%
Number of children age 0 through 6 who return to foster care:
Hub will observe trends in number of children age 0 through 6 who return to foster care.
Number of children age 0 through 6 who return to foster care: ___%
Number of children involved with the child welfare system who are served safely and equitably at home:
Hub will observe trends in number of children involved with the child welfare system who are served safely and equitably at home.
Number of children involved with the child welfare system who are served safely and equitably at home: ___%
System Coordination
Historical approach of individual programmatic efforts and funding streams. Resulting in:
Poor outcomes Increasing need for resources to sustain myriad
approaches
Called to integrate services, funds and use data to drive approaches
Proxy measures: Increasing the number of children served Reducing the age of onset of first service for high risk
children Reducing cost per child, including administrative
overhead
