● Community Engagement: The program fosters stronger ties between the school
and the surrounding community by meeting families’ needs for safe and
structured childcare. This engagement can result in increased community support
and involvement in school activities.
● Staff Income Opportunities: School staff members can earn additional income
by participating in the SIT Prep program. This can increase job satisfaction and
retention without impacting the school’s budget, leading to a more stable and
motivated workforce.
● Resource Utilization: The program efficiently uses school facilities during hours
when they would otherwise be unused. This maximizes the return on investment
for the school’s infrastructure and ensures that facilities contribute to student
outcomes outside regular school hours.
