Longitudinal research of the PC+ model demonstrates children who participate in PC+ are:

• 50% more likely to be prepared for kindergarten than socio-economic peers
• 50% less likely to be referred to special education services
• Reading and doing math on grade level in third grade
• And achieving a graduation rate 30% higher than a control group!

At Charlotte Bilingual Preschool, we implement this program from PC+ to MECK Pre-K, allowing us to monitor our students’ progress for at least 3 years.  Our methodology uses Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO™), a culturally sensitive and reliable tool that helps our practitioners evaluate and guide parents in the process of supporting their children’s development. We complement the process by following CBT Child Behavior Traits, a method designed to help regulate frustration, improve social problem-solving skills, and role-play assertive behaviors. 

We have been serving an average of 140 families per year and the results as measured by the DECA-P2 assessment, have been outstanding: our students are consistently showing greater social emotional growth than their non-PC+ counterparts, adequately preparing them for success as they enter kindergarten.
