Mission & Values

Every child and family deserves equitable opportunities to succeed.

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to help young children in lower-income families grow up and achieve economic success.

Our vision for the future is that children grow up and achieve economic success so that their children are not born into poverty.

Our method is to combine high-quality early childhood education with innovative family services and resources.

Our two-generation approach aims not only to prepare young children for future success in school but also to help their parents succeed through programs designed to increase parenting skills, employability, and earning potential.
