Let's change a life
CAP's Early Childhood Education programs and its Financial Services programs are designed to help lay the foundation needed for low-income children to achieve future success and to better position families to foster that success.
Financial Services
Helping low-income families better manage their assets and discover opportunities for improving financial succes
Early Childhood Education
Programs to help children develop the life and learning skills needed for personal achievement
Learning is a life-long endeavor. CAP works with the very youngest to give them the best possible start in their life of learning, and we work with those children’s parents to help them provide a more stable family environment.
Through the Head Start and Early Head Start programs (CAP has been the primary designated Head Start agency for Tulsa County since 1998), and through the Early Childhood Development Program, CAP works with children, from infants through age 5, to develop the skills needed for life and learning. We also help address the needs of parents and families by working as a partner with Family & Children Services.
Our Early Childhood Development Program has been identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as one of the most innovative in the country. The program is noted for its use of high-quality teachers who are supported by skilled, experienced mentors or Master Teachers, and the majority of program sites have earned accreditation from the National Association for Education of the Young Child.
In the area of Financial Services CAP offers a number of programs that provide guidance to low-income families on such matters as access to public benefits and scholarships, money-management, opportunities for home ownership, and the dangers of posed by predatory lenders. Achieving and maintaining a household’s economic stability returns benefits that go far beyond finances. It’s a way forward and a way out, allowing families to plan for their future and giving them the means to pursue it.
