Heritage Community Initiatives Embarks on Unique, Innovative Approach to Education for the Upcoming School Year

A long-time leader in early learning and out of school time programming, Heritage Community Initiatives is implementing an innovative approach that enhances its investment in education for the long term.

In response to current and future needs of its teachers and students, Heritage created two divisions within its Education Department. The new model addresses systemic challenges in education following the pandemic by enabling the department to further develop, train, and support teachers while continuing to provide best in class learning to at-risk students from 22 communities in eastern Allegheny County through enhanced behavioral, educational, and operational efficiencies.

Recent Assessment Again Gives Education Programs High Marks

We are beyond thrilled to share the results of our most recent education assessment. Here are some study highlights:

• An average of 93% of our early learners (birth to five years) meet or exceed expectations for physical development, mathematics, social-emotional development, cognitive development, literacy, and language
• An average of 98% of our school age children meet or exceed expectations for fine motor skills, cognitive development, and socio-emotional development

It is our privilege to help our students – many of whom face socioeconomic challenges – through unparalleled educational programming. Congratulations to our teachers, staff, and most importantly, our students and families on these fantastic achievements.
