Exhibit A 4. SCOPE OF WORK 1. Proposal shall include details of the youth program/service to be provided, the tasks to be accomplished, duration of the program and the deliverables to be provided The overarching objective of The Early Literacy and Math Program (ELP) in Orange County is to provide children (ages 0 to 5) and their primary caregivers)/families a variety of enriching services that promote early language and math literacy, and thereby foster kindergarten readiness. Early literacy and kindergarten readiness have proven to be strong indicators of long-term academic success. In particular, there are specific early language and math literacy skills that predict whether or not a child will become a successful reader and writer. At Vista Heritage Charter School and at MOMS of Orange County, Think Together will provide early learning programs for children ages 0 to 5 years old and their parents will participate in parent workshops. Each site will serve approximately 32 children and 32 parents each session for two sessions, for a total of 64 children and 64 parents per site. These fall and spring sessions will be 15 weeks each. Children and their parents will each receive 5 hours of programming per week for a total of 75 hours of programming per session. Across both sites, approximately 128 children and 128 parents will be served during the 2022-23 school year. Think Together' s Early Literacy and Math Programs utilize the Early Development Instrument (EDI) to support classroom instruction by intentionally and strategically utilizing the EDI data from the lowest scoring domains to plan lessons and activities to further support the development of the child. Implementing data from the ED[ has enabled us to focus on the most challenging areas of support and develop more strategic programming to target the needs of the community. Children in our Center -Based programs will be assessed on Social Emotional Learning, Literacy Skills and Math Skills through the GOLD Assessment. Over 457 students were assessed in our most recent assessment utilizing a pre and post-test design, with the following results: 5,00 4.58 4.00 3.13 2.9 3,00 2.13 2.19 2.00 14 1.3 1.54 100 O.S4.91 031.01 0.8 0.62.90 0.77 0.81.37 0.51.1.5 0.00 m Z am MN am NMI Birth to Preschool Birth to Preschool Birth to Preschool Birth to Preschool Birth to Preschool 3yrs 3 3yrs 3 3yrs 3 3yrs 3 3yrs 3 Comprehends and Demonstrates Demonstrates Demonstrates Demonstrates responds to books andemergent writing skills knowledge of print knowledge of the phonological other texts and its uses alphabet awareness N Pre O Post The above chart represents the average scores of the Literacy Domain pre and post GOLD assessments given to all students, compiled into age groups of Birth to 3 year old, and Preschool (3- year-olds).
