What is Single Point of Entry?

A “one-stop shop” for parents to access resources and/or enroll into programs for young children (prenatal to 4 years of age.)

Phase 1: online tool for Dallas families to find information about early childhood development resources

Phase 2: common ‘entry’ application submitted to programs of interest and for which they qualify

Where did the Single Point of Entry Concept come from?
- Dallas Achieves ECE Workteam met bi-weekly for 2.5 hours over
3 months to develop a charter
- Dallas Achieves Single Point of Entry Subcommittee: led by Susan Hoff,
Paul Dabbs, Suzanne Kubelka, and Venus Thionnet
- Texas Plan
- Other Systems: San Antonio, Health Care, Dept. of Aging

What work has the ECE workteam already completed on this project?

Decided on format- screener questions in 4 areas:
- Early Childhood Programs
- Child Health
- Special Needs
- Parent Education

Identified a Technology Company: Pariveda Solutions

What kinds of partnerships are needed?
- Partners with online tools that want to use this tool to direct parents to their site.
- Partners with databases that they want to share by uploading information into this site
- Partners with hardcopy directories that they want typed and entered into the site
- Other suggested partnerships that we may not have thought of…
