FACE and GED Program

About FACE (Family and Child Education) Program & GED Testing

ANA pays for testing fees for parents with no financial resources who have studied diligently toward their GED tests.
ANA provides baby layettes, complete with diaper bag, baby supplies, and clothing for new mothers and their infants.
​These parents are part of the Family and Child Education (FACE) program in elementary schools of the Navajo Nation. 
Volunteer shoppers are needed to help purchase layette items and stitchers are needed to make tote bags for the new mothers.
If you would like to help, please fill out the contact form below.

FACE was initiated in 1990, and currently has programs in 44 Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) funded schools. It was designed as a family literacy program; an integrated model for an early childhood/parental involvement program for Native American  families in BIE-funded schools. Evaluation indicates that FACE programs are succeeding in addressing achievement gaps for Native American children, primarily located on rural reservations, and in better preparing them for school

MORE ABOUT FACE


The goals of the FACE program are: to support parents/primary caregivers in their role as their child’s first and most influential teacher; to increase family literacy; to strengthen family-school-community connections; to promote the early identification and services to children with special needs; to increase parent participation in their child’s learning; to support and celebrate the unique cultural and linguistic diversity of each Native American  community served by the program; and to promote lifelong learning. Program services integrate language and culture in two settings: home and school.
