DAY ONE Early Learning Community

Poughkeepsie, NY, US • 5 - 9 Employees
College/University

Founded in 2019 in Poughkeepsie, New York, DAY ONE strengthens communities by investing in our youngest. Our mission is to create a model teaching and early learning community where families, educators and future teachers collaborate to nurture every child's potential, from day one. The DAY ONE model assumes teachers, parents, and children are part of an interconnected, interdependent system: when all three are thriving, our communities prosper. We hope to replicate this model throughout the country, demonstrating that by investing in teachers, families, and young children, we can dramatically break persistent patterns of inequality and stagnant mobility. To do so, we are fostering a community-wide understanding of what Early Childhood Education (ECE) is, why it is transformative, and how all children can have access. Specifically, we train and elevate early childhood teachers, engage and empower parents, and offer high-quality early childhood learning.
