Educare Model

Welcome

At Educare, we believe everyone deserves a fair chance to achieve their dreams, and it starts by leveling the playing field from the day we’re born. As one of the nation’s most effective early childhood network of schools, we ensure young children from underserved communities have the best possible chance for success in life. Our approach extends beyond the classroom to help children, families and communities thrive.

About Educare

The Educare Learning Network will demonstrate that research -based early childhood education prevents the persistent achievement gap for our nation’s most at -risk young children. The Network’s evidence, practice expertise and dynamic partnerships will help ensure that all children and families, especially those at greatest risk, will have access to effective early learning, and that the first five years will be an integral part of the nation’s education system.
