Helps families build literacy and kindergarten-readiness skills for their children from infancy to 5-years-old
Offers family members the resources they want to become active participants in their children’s early childhood development
Trains the next generation of professionally certified dual-language early childhood educators
Expands our reach by building a decentralized dual language early education delivery system to replicate with partner sites and maximize our impact
Advocates state- and nationwide for our early-childhood education model, our children, and their families. We provide family members and supporters with the tools they want to voice their views to policymakers and remove the systemic barriers that have historically prevented them from thriving.
