Mission

TO PREPARE UNDERSERVED LATINO PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN FOR EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS BY PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP THEIR LANGUAGE, COGNITIVE, SOCIAL, AND MOTOR SKILLS. TOGETHER WITH CERTIFIED TEACHERS, ENGAGED PARENTS, AND TRAINED TEEN VOLUNTEERS, WE INSPIRE A PASSION FOR LEARNING.

About

LNP PROVIDES YEAR-ROUND EARLY EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR UNDERSERVED LATINO PRESCHOOLERS IN SANDY SPRINGS, ROSWELL AND HAPEVILLE, GEORGIA. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES EDUCATIONAL, LEADERSHIP AND ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES FOR LOCAL CHILDREN, TEENS AND FAMILIES. LNP HAS SERVED THIS LOW-INCOME POPULATION SINCE 2001. IN 2018, LNP HAS SUPPORTED OVER 300 CHILDREN, 190 FAMILIES AND 140 VOLUNTEER TEENS. OUR PROGRAMS ARE FEE-FREE TO PARTICIPANTS; WE SUPPORT THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FROM PRESCHOOL TO COLLEGE. THE LOS NINOS PRIMERO ACADEMIC PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE CHALLENGES THAT LATINO CHILDREN FACE WHEN ENTERING KINDERGARTEN. LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES ARE ADDRESSED IN A CURRICULUM FOCUSED ON LANGUAGE, BASIC MATH AND MOTOR SKILLS. WITH A STAFF OF BICULTURAL AND CERTIFIED TEACHERS AND COUNTLESS VOLUNTEERS, THE CHILDREN RECEIVE A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION THAT PREPARES THEM FOR SUCCESS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL. EACH CHILD ENROLLED IN OUR PROGRAM IS TESTED AT THE START OF THE PROGRAM AND A SECOND TIME UPON COMPLETION. THE TEST VARIES BY AGE AND CONSISTS OF 15 TO 30 QUESTIONS WHICH COVER SOCIAL SKILLS, LANGUAGE, READING AND READINESS AND MATH. GEORGIA CERTIFIED TEACHERS CONDUCT THE ASSESSMENTS AND TESTING. AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM, THE TEACHERS ARE ASSIGNED TO ASSESS A TEAMMATE'S CLASS TO ENSURE THE GREATEST ACCURACY AND INTEGRITY OF THE TESTING PROCESS. APPROXIMATELY 70% OF OUR STUDENTS ATTEND LAKE FOREST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE TRACK THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE BY RECORDING THEIR FULTON COUNTY TEST SCORES. IN 2018, MOST OF OUR KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS WHOSE RESULTS WERE DOCUMENTED WERE READING AT OR ABOVE THE GRADE LEVEL. THROUGHOUT 2018, LNP CONTINUED OFFERING A VARIETY OF EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMS THAT COMPLEMENT THE CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. THESE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS INCLUDE CHORUS, ORCHESTRA, ART, DANCE, KARATE AND SOCCER. THESE YOUNG MUSICIANS HAVE BECOME AMBASSADORS IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THEIR HEARTWARMING PERFORMANCES. THE SUCCESS OF THESE PROGRAMS IS MEASURED BY THE STRONG ATTENDANCE, THE OBSERVATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF THE INSTRUCTORS, AND THE INCREMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS DEMONSTRATED BY THE PARTICIPATING STUDENTS. PARENTS- AND STUDENTS' FEEDBACK HELP US TO MEASURE OUR EFFECTIVENESS AS WELL. ALL EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES HELP THE CHILDREN DEVELOP DISCIPLINE AND TEAMWORK SKILLS ALONG WITH A SENSE OF BELONGING. LOS NINOS PRIMERO YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM IN 2018 ENROLLED AND ENGAGED A RECORD NUMBER OF 140 YOUTH INTO OUR PROGRAM. YOUTH VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTE IMMENSELY TO THE SUCCESS OF LNP. ALL YOUTH VOLUNTEERS COMPLETE AN APPLICATION PROCESS AND PARTICIPATE IN AN INTENSIVE TRAINING THAT INVOLVES DISCUSSION OF LNP POLICIES, AN OVERVIEW OF BASIC EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT, AND STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE IN THE CLASSROOM. THE SUCCESS LNP HAS ACHIEVED BY INCLUDING TEENS IN THE DECISION-MAKING AND LEADERSHIP OF OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAM SERVES SOCIETY WELL. OUR TEEN PARTICIPATION IS A UNIQUE ATTRIBUTE THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE ESSENTIAL TO THE WELL-BEING OF OUR PRESCHOOLERS. THE TEEN COMPONENT ALLOWS OUR PRESCHOOL AGE STUDENTS TO CONNECT WITH POWERFULLY INSPIRING ROLE MODELS. THE TEENS DAILY DEMONSTRATE THEIR CAPACITY FOR KINDNESS WHILE ACTIVELY PROMOTING LEADERSHIP, INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY AND PRIDE IN THEIR CULTURE. IT IS A NOTEWORTHY ACHIEVEMENT THAT 30% OF OUR TEENS WERE ONCE CHILDREN IN OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAM AND COME BACK TO SERVE AS VOLUNTEERS. IN 2018 THE TEENS HAVE GIVEN OVER 9,000 SERVICE HOURS TO LNP. OTHER RELEVANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2018 FOR EDUCATION INCLUDE ESTABLISHING A POST-SECONDARY SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR YOUTH VOLUNTEERS AND ALUMNI OF OUR PROGRAM. THE MARTHA BARRIOS MEAD SCHOLARSHIP HONORS MARTHA MEAD, A LONG- SERVING VOLUNTEER AND BOARD MEMBER WHO SUCCUMBED TO CANCER IN 2017. OUR FIRST RECIPIENT, ROSA MOCTEZUMA, WAS AWARDED THE SCHOLARSHIP THIS SPRING AND CURRENTLY ATTENDS GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY. SHE IS THE FIRST ONE TO ATTEND COLLEGE IN HER FAMILY. THE PARENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM AT LNP BELIEVES PARENT ENGAGEMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR CHILDREN. AT LNP, PARENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP THEM NAVIGATE SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS THEY MAY ENCOUNTER. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNATED TO DEVELOP PARENT'S LEADERSHIP SKILLS BY PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO BECOME A PARENT COACH OR LIAISON BETWEEN LNP AND FAMILIES. IN JANUARY 2018, LNP LAUNCHED THE UNITED WAY'S "FOSTERING FAMILY LEADERS" LEADERSHIP TRAINING. TWENTY LNP MOTHERS COMPLETED THE 10-WEEK COURSE. THE TRAINING PROPELLED SEVERAL OF THE WOMEN TO PURSUE GREATER LEADERSHIP ROLES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. FROM THIS SUCCESS, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR GREATER ATLANTA AWARDED LNP A CIVIC ENGAGEMENT GRANT. WITH THIS GRANT THE MOTHERS TRAINED IN "FOSTERING FAMILY LEADERS" ARE WORKING IN TWO PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO IMPROVE LATINO FAMILY PARTICIPATION IN THE PTA/PTO. WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS IN THIS PROGRAM WITH THE ATTENDANCE TO OUR COURSES, THE GROWTH WE SEE IN OUR PARENTS' CONFIDENCE, THEIR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND THE SUCCESS OF THEIR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL. ANNUALLY, OUR PARENTS PROVIDE WRITTEN FEEDBACK ON OUR PROGRAMMING. THEIR CANDID INPUT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR COLLABORATION AND HELPS TO SHAPE OUR SERVICES.
