Children's Museum Houston

Log Number: LG-94-18-0265-18

The children's Museum of Houston, Houston Health Department and collaborators including the Houston Public Library, will advance the vision of two Houston collective impact initiatives with the project "Houston Basics Complete Communities." The collaborators will establish demonstration projects supporting parents in two low-income neighborhoods with early learning strategies they can use with their children during the first three years of life. There is currently no community-wide collective effort to provide parents of children aged three and under strategies to advance literacy development. The two demonstration projects will be fully active for one year, with six months of advance planning and six months of reporting and sharing at completion. The project will change iteratively as determined through community and partner input, resulting in an expansion model for replication and will be shared with other LAMs.
