Foster Youth
Early Learning
A Real Success
Foster Youth Services Coordinating Program (FYS) is a program offered by Monterey County Office of Education designed to serve the unique needs of children and youth placed in foster care. National and statewide research shows that a high percentage of children who are removed from their homes and placed in the foster care system experience both short and long term challenges in school. Traumatic histories of abuse and neglect compounded by frequent changes in foster care placements contribute to issues in the classroom and/or reduced academic achievement. The FYSCP offers support to foster students and school districts, and to agencies and community based organizations who work with foster students. Our primary mission is to ensure foster students achieve academic growth and success both in the short term and in the long term.
Healthy Starts, Healthy Minds
Each year Monterey County Office of Education Early Learning Program serves 732 children 3-5 years of age. We believe that children and families come to our program with unique backgrounds, experiences and strengths. We are committed to working in full participation with families to support individual needs and development goals. Additionally, good nutrition, physical activity, and sound health practices are key elements to ensure optimum brain development. We promote healthy eating and lifestyle principles throughout our programs.
