This is our first report on the progress that children and families are making at the two Early Works sites – east Portland’s Early Boyles Elementary and Yoncalla Elementary in rural Yoncalla. The report is based on data from an annual evaluation of the Early Works initiative conducted by Portland State University. The initiative works to implement an integrated set of policies and services in early learning, health and family engagement and brings together various partners working on behalf of children and families. The goal: to create a seamless system that supports children in their critical years from birth through age 8.
