A bold visionStart early to change a child’s life trajectory.
Close the productivity gap and erase the p y g pachievement gap by narrowing the opportunity gap.
Ensure that disadvantaged young children –instead of starting school already behind – arrive at kindergarten on par with average students across the country.
Redefine “education” in America to encompass the first five years of life, which are the first five years of learning.
