Our Mission is to Transform Early Learning and Achieve Educational Success for All
6 out of 10 children in Central Ohio start Kindergarten without the basic skills needed to succeed.
90% of a child’s brain has already developed by the age of five. Without early intervention, studies have shown that these gaps could have a negative impact on their future.
Why It Matters
90% of a child’s brain has already developed by the age of five. Without early intervention, studies have shown that these gaps could have a negative impact on their future.
We screen children ages 3 to 5 years old, using industry standard formative assessment tools.
We develop targeted instructional practices and strategies to enhance a child’s academic success.
We coach educators and parents and provide practical tools for them to implement with children in school or at home.
