A comprehensive educational effort, United We Learn operates at the intersection of early learning and third-grade literacy. We work to ensure equity and access to early learning for all children. The goal is to elevate the number of children who enter kindergarten ready to learn, ensure school-age children have needed supports and strive to remove barriers for hard-working families. In 2022, we expanded our Quality Childcare Initiative to 43 preschools, provided professional development, behavioral support and environmental upgrades for childcare centers and continued to distribute United4Literacy kits to community partners to boost preschool learning. Increasing the number of students reading on level by the end of third grade remains a focus. We have invested and implemented programming within the attendance zones of 36 selected Title I Elementary schools composed of ALICE households. This includes the placement of paraprofessionals in four of our five school districts. Read More About Our Educational Programs and Early Learning Initiative -
