Goals and Purpose
Effective early childhood programs generate benefits to society that far exceed program costs. Extensive analysis shows that investing in education and development in the earliest years produce the greatest returns. How we educate children - whether at home, with licensed providers, or elsewhere - makes a tremendous difference.
What We Are Doing
Partnered with Colchester Rotary to develop a Book Mobile that travels throughout town to provide books and resources to the community. Collcted over 1,500 children’s books for donation to families. Initiated two Head Start programs to serve the community. Provided several workshops and trainings to the community and providers improving programs related to math, literacy, and professional development.
Get Involved
Join our team or volunteer at an event as we support the families in Colchester. We believe that supporting our youngest citizens and families today will strengthen our community tomorrow.
