About Us
Educate
We believe in supporting play to enhance children's development-- from early math and reading skills to confidence and resilience, we help children build their abilities to be successful in school and life.
Engage
With parent/caregiver participation and community partnerships we promote engagement through opportunities to support the whole family in their child's education.
Empower
Recognizing the parent is a child's first and most important teacher, we support and strengthen family relationships by providing opportunities for social connections, personal growth, advocacy and leadership.
