"The purpose of the PASO training program is to create an equitable, replicable, community based model program for providing professional development in early childhood education to Latino, Family, Friend and Neighbor providers to: promote school readiness to Latino children, birth to 5 years old, and to prevent the achievement gap between Latino and non-Latino children before they enter Kindergarten."- http://coparentcoalition.org/paso/

The community looks at this program as a fresh start and a way to help raise a community with better morals and values by starting at the youngest age possible, according to the United Way of Weld County.

I believe that PASO is a great way to have families involved in their children's development and learning processes. It is great that there are programs out there targeted at specific cultures to help them get past the gap in society.
