All Stamford Youth Will Enter Kindergarten Ready to Learn
As a parent, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. No other person or organization will have a greater influence on how well your child does in life and school than you.
Your child’s learning begins at birth! By talking to, playing with, and interacting with your child in a positive way every day, you will set the stage for their healthy growth and development.
Later, when your child enters school, parent involvement is the most important factor in your child’s happiness and success. Your influence can lead to:
- Higher academic achievement
- Better cognitive and social skills
- Better problem-solving skills
- A greater enjoyment of school
- Better school attendance

Action Plans
To effectively measure and identify effective practices while aligning resources, we have designed and developed a detailed Action Plan process. The process and the related template were created in close partnership with Stamford Public Schools and the Superintendent’s team. This process is consistently followed by all CANs. Each CAN is at a different stage of action plan completion, depending on the complexity of its objectives and the available data.
