  • Mental Health and Wellness Support

    IN 2022 VENTURE FOR SUCCESS PREPARATORY LEARNING CENTER WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING: 1. IN 2022 WE FOCUSED MORE ON MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS FOR OUR TEACHERS. OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH SPECIALIST HAVE ALLOWED OUR TEAM OF TEACHERS TO DECOMPRESS AND REFOCUS THEIR ENERGY ON HEALING FROM THE MOST RECENT PANDEMIC. THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO RAISE MONEY TO ENGAGE IN A RETREAT SCHEDULED DURING THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2023. THIS SUPPORTS OUR GOAL SET OUT IN 2022. 2. OUR GOAL IN 2021 WAS TO ENSURE A PROPER TRANSITION FOR CHILDREN AS THEY READY FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY PARTNERING WITH EARLY HEAD START AND REDUCING OUR CLASSROOM SIZE DOWN BY 20%. THIS HAS SINCE ALLOWED OUR TEACHERS TO PROVIDE MORE ONE-ON-ONE CARE AND DEDICATE MORE TIME TOWARDS MEASURING THE OUTCOMES OF EACH CHILD'S STRENGTHS AND OR WEAKNESSES. 3. WE SET OUT TO PAIR MORE FAMILIES (IN 2022) WITH SERVICES THAT SUPPORT OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, SPEECH THERAPY ETCOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH SPONSORS SUCH AS EARLY HEAD START HAS GIVEN US THE LEVERAGE TO OFFER THESE SERVICES AT A FASTER PACE THAN PREVIOUS. NEW GOALS FOR 2023: 1. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE OUR TEAM OF TEACHERS MORE STREAMLINED WAYS TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR FAMILIES. OUR CURRENT METHODS HAVE PROVEN EFFECTIVE AS THE PANDEMIC HAS CREATED DISTANCE WITH FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS. THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OUR MODES OF COMMUNICATION. 2. DURING THIS PANDEMIC, WE WILL FOCUS OUR INVESTMENTS ON AREAS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE OPERATING AND SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS WHILE ALSO BEING ABLE TO ADAPT TO THE RAPIDLY CHANGING ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. THIS WILL INCLUDE INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY TO INCREASE METHODS OF COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILIES. DIVERSIFYING SUPPLY CHAIN TO REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON A SINGLE SOURCE (E.G., GROCERY STORES) AND STRENGTHENING OUR FINANCIAL POSITION TO WEATHER ANY POTENTIAL DOWNTURNS. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL FOCUS ON INVESTING IN OUR EMPLOYEES THROUGH TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO HELP THEM STAY COMPETITIVE AND PRODUCTIVE DURING THIS UNCERTAIN TIME. 3. INFLATION HAS INCREASED THE PRICE OF COMMODITIES, THEREBY, REDUCING BUYING POWER, AS A RESULT OF THIS ORDER OF MAGNITUDE WE WILL INCREASE OUR AGRICULTURE FARMING BY GROWING MORE IN-HOUSE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
