What Family Connection of Easton Inc does
Mission
Family connection is a catalyst for change within families, schools, and the community. Through a team approach that includes families, the easton area school district, and community organizations, family connection improves academic performance, the quality of life, and strength of our community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Family support is a school-based initiative through which our staff strengthens connections between families, the school, and the community to support students' academic success. Our family support specialists serve as community resource liaisons, coordinate services needed by students and families, ensure that families have enough information and support to be effective and engaged members of the school community, serve as an advocate and support sysytem for families, and help develop and monitor progress toward family goal plans. We served over 500 families this year from all seven elementary schools in the easton area school district as well as easton area middle school and easton area high school.
$279,484 spent70% of program spendingThe parent-child home program prepares children and families for school success. During twice a week visits over a two-year period, family literacy specialists model for parents of two to four year olds how to use books, toys, and games to develop their child's literacy, math, and social- emotional skills. We also hold several educational field trips each year to places such as the easton area public library, the easton firehouse, and hugh moore park. The program helps children learn letters, numbers, shapes, and colors., engages families in education from an early age, familiarizes familes with the school environment and school staff, and increases use of community resources. The parent-child home program is an international program and we are an official replication site.
The after school learning clubs (aslc) is an afterschool academic enrichment program that helps students improve their academic performance. The program includes a daily healthy snack, classroom instruction, homework assistance, recreation time, and family nights. High school students interested in teaching careers serve as mentors in addition to students from lafayette college and northampton community college. Aslc provides a safe, nurturing environment for children during the after school hours, improves academic performance and social-emotional skills, increases family involvement, exposes students to the arts, science, and technology, and provides students with opportunities to build self-confidence and explore their local community. Over 130 children participated in the program this year.
Kindergarten connection is a community-wide initiative to improve communication, access to information and resources, and coordination of services so that there is a seamless transition of students from preschool or home to kindergarten. We collaboratively developed and are implementing a comprehensive community transition plan that was approved by the easton area school district board. This year we also hosted kindergarten visits, distributed 600 school readiness backpacks during kindergarten registration, and hosted several other transition events throughout the year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $1.1M to $1.2M (+14%).

90% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
