Early Learning &
Development

We believe learning starts at birth with parent involvement being key... It is our goal to create and foster system change to the early education system through advocacy, collaboration, and implementation of new, innovative program models.  Developed to increase access to quality early learning opportunities.  With a focus on underserved and disadvantaged communities.​

Gifted & Talented
​Early Learning Advocacy

In addition to everything else we do,  we advocate for gifted and talented early learners because no one else does.  They are an underrepresented and underserved group in the early education system.  Especially in communities with high populations of low-income households and/or people of color.

Though gifted and advanced early learners display higher than normal learning abilities, their socio-emotional capacity is often different than that of their peers.  More often than not giftedness is overlooked in young children, because testing typically doesn’t occur until after 5 years old.  Thus, from birth-5 years, many gifted and accelerated children displaying socio-emotional differences end up mislabeled, if not worse, misdiagnosed.  Within the conversations we’ve had with over 100 parents and families 1 out of 5 people know or are closely related to a child that has been deemed gifted and/or was mislabeled/misdiagnosed. 
 
​One of our goals is to capture the potential of as many early learners as possible by providing non-traditional gifted and accelerated early learning opportunities that can be used by all.  Along with educating parents and the community about early signs of giftedness, resources, and support.  In the hopes of preventing early learners from being mislabeled/misdiagnosed due to their socio-emotional needs.
