WHY DO WE CARE?

While our primary aim is to provide meaningful early education experiences for children, despite their families’ resources, the problem is more far-reaching than that…

EXPONENTIAL IMPACT

It's time.

If we do not start combating the long-term and costly impacts of abandoning our nation’s most vulnerable children, we will continue to see a dramatic increase in the need for public funding and resources for services such as special education, social and emotional wellbeing, and other related services.  Longitudinal studies have shown that students who do not receive a quality early childhood education have higher incarceration rates, lower graduation rates, lower earning potential, higher teen pregnancies, and are more likely to become an overall burden on social service agencies and the community as a whole.  Without quality preschool education, there will be a  continued decline in basic performance and our ability to compete on a global scale.

The children in our communities deserve the opportunity to succeed.  Every child should have access to the academic and life skills they need to positively change their trajectory and revitalize all aspects of their community.  It’s time.  Please join us in eradicating the chasm between children and their best life by helping to fund a quality local preschool education that would be out of reach without donations and community support.

ABOUT US >

Jill & Phil Dixon began researching preschool options for their two children and were shocked to realize Early Childhood Education is both costly and not an opportunity that is afforded to all children.  As they continued their search, it became clear that there were tens of thousands of children in the State of Massachusetts alone who were unable to attend preschool.
