Napa and Solano Counties

The Raising A Reader Program operated by Child Start serves children and families in Napa and Solano Counties. Thanks to the generous start-up funding from local donors through the Napa Valley Community Foundation, Raising A Reader started in 2002 with three partner agencies in Napa County. As more resources became available, Raising A Reader continued to reach growing numbers of children in Napa County and expanded to serve Head Start and Early Head Start families in Solano County. Today they serve 2000 at-risk families annually.

Child Start currently partners with thirteen community agencies severing children birth to five utilizing the RAR Program. Children and families are served in preschool settings, home visit programs and parent education programs offered at local family centers.
