Save the Children Early Steps to School Success, Supported by Allstate

Building a strong foundation of skills is critical for school readiness. Early Steps to School Success is a cradle-to-classroom intervention program for children at high risk of struggling in school. The core program goal is achieved through home visits by teachers; parent education groups, toddler story book hours and play groups as well as structured activities to promote early language and literacy skills along with social and emotional development. As children enter school, Save the Children provides after-school literacy programs and nutrition education.

Allstate has donated $1 million to directly support Save the Children Charities located in the Gulf region.
