That’s 40 years! Elfreda has been employed with CDP for 38 years; she commenced her employment 25th September 1978; prior to that she was a parent in the programme for 2 years.

Below you’ll find staggering statistics about why low-income children enter school well behind their more affluent peers; the research that proves that increasing parent-child verbal interaction can have profound impacts on children’s academic performance; and details on how PCHP’s research-based model consistently achieves its predicted outcomes for low-income children and their parents.
