Smarter Cities Challenge: City of Surrey

Agenda • Opportunity • Challenge • Building on a Successful Foundation • Methodology & Approach • Observations • Recommendations • Moving Forward • Q&A

There is an opportunity for Surrey to be a leader in creating an integrated approach to supporting ECD

“Understanding and investing in early childhood development is a pressing issue across North America and around the globe. The positive long-term impacts of up-front investments are well documented, however this issue has yet to be fully addressed by any jurisdiction. Building on substantial existing investments, Surrey has the opportunity to be a model for implementing an integrated, data-driven approach to supporting early childhood development.“

Stan Litow – IBM Vice President Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs & President IBM International Foundation



• Understand how the city and its partners can make

better investments in young children and their families today to create healthier residents and a more sustainable and prosperous community for tomorrow

• Recommend approaches to better share information and insights across service providers, funders and supporters and to drive improved and sustainable outcomes in children ages 0 to 5



The Challenge that our team was asked to undertake was:



Early Childhood Needs

Child Care

Health & Nutrition

Safety

Comm

unity and Culture

Socialization

Physical Activity

Early Development Instrument led by University of British Columbia 104 questions answered by kindergarten teachers

– Physical Health & Well-Being – Social Competence – Emotional Maturity – Language & Cognitive Development – Communication Skills & General Knowledge

Tracking by “neighborhoods” over time since 1999 – Ability to track trends in vulnerability


We were asked to use the EDI metric as a measurement of vulnerabilities in young children

“Reducing inequality in child development will require us to bring about enduring social change...”

- Clyde Hertzman, Director, Human Early Learning Partnership


Starting with the EDI as a common metric, our team used the Smarter Cities Challenge approach and methodology
