Education
Early Education
RurAL CAP serves children and families through early childhood education. We promote socio-emotional development, healthy practices, cultural richness, and school readiness. Our programs include the Child Development Center, Head Start, Early Head Start, and Parents as Teachers (PAT).
Child Development Center
The Anchorage Child Development Center provides full-day, year-round child care for children between 19 months and five years of age. Our center engages children in spacious classrooms with various educational activities and lessons.
Head Start & Early Head Start
Head Start and Early Head Start are federally funded programs that prepare Alaska’s children and families with low-incomes for school and life success through comprehensive services in early education and family well-being. While Head Start primarily serves three- and four-year-olds, Early Head Start visits the homes of families with infants and toddlers under the age of three.
Parents as Teachers
Parents as Teachers (PAT), a national home-visiting teaching model, supports families in Alaska Communities by delivering in-home services to prenatal women and families with children ages five and under. We work with parents to promote their children's development through comprehensive services that support early education and family well-being.
Training & Technical Assistance
Through our Training and Technical Assistance programs, rural communities have access to various resources that support the development and enhancement of tribal justice systems, juvenile justice programs, and tribal victim services.
The Resource Basket
Our Resource Basket Training and Technical Assistance Center helps rural communities support healthy, successful, and culturally connected Alaska Native youth by offering training, resources, technical assistance, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities.
Alaska Tribal Justice Resource Center
Our Alaska Tribal Justice Resource Center supports the delivery of statewide Training and Technical Assistance services to Tribes and tribal organizations seeking to develop or enhance their respective tribal justice systems. We provide access to statewide nonprofit, public, and tribal relationships, in addition to nationwide partnerships, affiliations, and services as needed.
Alaska Tribal Victims Services
Our Alaska Tribal Victim Services Program provides Training & Technical Assistance to tribes receiving grant funding from the Denali Commission to assess needs, plan for, and implement services supporting victims of crime.
