FACE Program
The FACE program staff would like to WELCOME you and your family to our program.
FACE (Family and Child Education) is a comprehensive child-parent/guardian support program that provides a variety of educational, family, and personal developmental services. The goal is to develop partnerships that connect families and children with the essential educational, cultural, and social development assets that are available to them. The Navajo Community is the family’s first, most present, and available resource.
The goal is to continue developing impactful programs that combine early childcare development with parental involvement. FACE understands effective childcare development relies heavily upon the relationships between the child, parent, and community. FACE programs strive to enhance child and family literacy rates, early special needs identification, and promote parental involvement for overall well-being.
PARENTS AND CHILDREN
FACE is dedicated to strengthening family-school-community connections by offering a comprehensive early learning framework focused on prekindergarten and kindergarten readiness. The program provides three key services:
- Family Enrichment Services (Family Enrichment Teacher: Carmilita John): Home-based learning support for children from prenatal to age 3, ensuring early developmental milestones are met for prekindergarten readiness. The teacher will schedule prearranged home visits with each family and teach within the home.
- Prekindergarten Services (Prekindergarten Teacher: Shauna Benally): In-school instruction for children aged 4 to 5, designed to enhance kindergarten readiness skills. We are a five-day prekindergarten program, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- Adult Education Services (Adult Education Teacher: Verdie Martinez): Programs focused on educational advancement and career readiness for adult learners equip families with tools to support their child's education. The teacher schedules prearranged hours with parents for active participation. Classes run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
