Page 6 Strategic & Effective Public-Private Partnerships: The Silicon Valley Educare Model “These public-private partnerships are the only way we’re 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, ‘Let’s figure out a better way to do it.’ This – Educare – is a better way to do it and it’s 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.
