Capital BlueCross Supports Literacy Lab

Community Services for Children (CSC) recently received $12,500 from Capital Blue Cross in Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) funding in support of its innovative Literacy Lab program.

“We are so appreciative of Capital BlueCross’s leadership in supporting early education. This is the building block for successful high school graduation and an educated workforce,” said Jane Ervin, CEO/President of CSC.

Capital BlueCross’s contribution supports CSC’s Literacy Lab. This innovative program for preschoolers has proven to accelerate young children’s grasp of early literacy skills which can help future success with language, reading and writing.

Community Services for Children (CSC) is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development as an Educational Innovation Organization and a Pre-Kindergarten Scholarship Organization. Qualifying businesses may receive tax credits in exchange for donations to CSC to fund students from low income families attending high quality pre-k programs. These credits are obtained through the program Educational Investment Tax Credits (EITC) and administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

CSC is the region’s leader in early childhood education and family development, reaching 40,000 children in 18 counties annually. For further information, call Sara George, 610-437-6000, x2101.
