To provide an excellent education to children through the third grade 2. To replicate our successes HistoryLumin Education is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization which operates early childhood learning centers with programs to meet the needs of children from birth to age nine. Lumin Education was founded in 1978 for the specific purpose of proving that all children, regardless of race or income, can succeed in school when we start young and involve parents.From its humble beginnings of educating a single class of eight children in donated space, the original East Dallas Community School campus has expanded to a 5 classroom campus serving one hundred inner city children from primarily low-income families with daily classroom and outreach programs. In August 1999, Lumin Education opened a second campus that replicates the academic programs and success of the original model. In 2009, Lumin Education opened its third location in the neighborhood north of Bachman Lake (one of the poorest neighborhoods in Dallas, just north of Love Field Airport).
