Page 6 Strategic & Effective Public-Private Partnerships:
The Silicon Valley Educare Model These public-private partnerships
are the only way were going to get there. If we continue to point
fingers, if we continue to work in silos when adults fight, kids
lose. It takes adults putting egos aside, putting aside historical
differences, and saying, Lets figure out a better way to do it.
This Educare is a better way to do it and its starting to become a
real national model. -U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan

Page 7 Educare: A Community Partnership The David and Lucile
Packard Foundation and First 5 California are leading Educare
development in three communities in close collaboration with the
Susie Buffett Early Childhood Fund, the Ounce of Prevention Fund,
and the Bounce Network of Educare Centers. Each Educare school in
California will be a public-private partnership involving local
philanthropy, the corporate sector, a Head Start/Early Head Start
provider, school officials, the local First 5 agency, Preschool
California, and others who partner in new ways to narrow the
achievement gap for children in their community. Educare of Omaha
