Communicating Results with Compelling Narratives
Over the years, CCR Analytics has been fortunate to partner with many agencies, organizations, and advocacy groups to prepare state-wide reports on the efficacy of Head Start and State Preschool programs. We understand communicating complex statistical results is only effective in the context of a broader story. If you’re a state organization, cluster of Head Starts, Community Action group, or just a group of programs looking for advocacy materials, contact us to see what we can put together for you. If you have a common assessment tool or family engagement data collection tool, we can put together a compelling analysis for you too.

California Head Start Child Outcomes Bulletin 2012
Children who attend Head Start reach developmental milestones two and a half to five months earlier than children who do not. This finding holds true across a variety of developmental areas. Child assessment data was collected on all three and four year-olds enrolled in 30 California Head Start programs. Statistical analysis was conducted on a subset of this group totaling 9,665 children to determine how much the children benefited from participating in Head Start as three-year-olds.
