We're off and running!
Over 2,000 kids in some of the most under-resourced communities in rural Maine count on us to partner with their parents and teachers to help them prepare for happier lives with greater opportunities. Our programs focus on early literacy and active play, two essential ingredients for early academic success and disrupting generational poverty. We're hoping to raise $25,000 this week to help fund our work. It's a big chunk of our annual budget, and we believe this is a great year to grow... the need is there and we're equipped to help meet it. We'd very much appreciate your help! Thank you.
We're on a mission to have a child's chance of success grow with them.
We work with Head Start Centers as well as Title 1 Schools (where more than half of the students live below the Federal Poverty Level) allowing us to effectively reach families with newborns up to sixth graders. We are the only nonprofit we know of that merges active play with reading and improved learning. Our early childhood programs offer appropriate activities and support materials for the youngest learners (up to age 3). Our Head Start programs are designed for the 4 and 5-year-olds, and our Elementary programs take a child up through the sixth grade. All three phases are linked by design, so a child’s progress is sequential and deliberate.
The next
generation.
We believe that all our programs work together to provide solid building blocks supporting future academic success. None of which would be possible without your support. Thank you!
