Parent/Child Incorporated continues to be a driving force in early childhood development, having trained, skilled staff working with young children and families that includes a seasoned management staff. The parents, staff, volunteers, and partners are PCI’s biggest asset and are the focus of special training, special activities/events, volunteer/partnership recognitions, advisory committees, being part of the Board of Directors, Policy Council, Parent Center Committees and the Male Initiative (Fatherhood Initiative), Teacher of the Year Recognitions, ECC of the Year Recognitions, and the list goes on. The assessment tool, “Teaching Strategies Gold” is in place to allow staff and parents to make data-driven decisions regarding developmental and educational outcomes to ensure school readiness. The families and community will benefit from this assessment as evidenced by children having a greater head start in their education and being school ready with the inclusion of the parents in the learning process. The historical framework put in place by the founder of PCI many years ago is still in place today, but on a much grander scale and much more enhanced. The biggest difference between yesterday and today is PCI is now a Grantee of all of our programs and not a Delegate. The agency continues to be innovative with being the first to begin something new within PCI. As PCI successfully strives to bring the best quality services to the children and families of San Antonio and Bexar County, we continue to look to expand our services keeping with our mission “To provide high-quality early childhood developmental and educational services in order to empower our children and their families to become responsible citizens who value education and community.”
