Overview Brochure About SPARK

The SPARK initiative seeks to create a seamless transition into school for vulnerable children ages 3 to 6. Standing for “Supporting Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids,” SPARK will support partnerships of selected communities, schools, state agencies, and families to ensure that they work together effectively for children’s early learning. With the initiative serving as a catalyst or “spark,” the goal is to ensure that vulnerable children are ready for school and schools are ready for the children. An overview describes how the initiative and its partnerships are expected to proceed. [Brochure]
