Infant
Let’s start at the very first stage of life. Quality early childhood development provided by families and caregivers ensures that children enter school prepared for learning. Early experiences play a crucial role in shaping future learning, behavior, and overall health.
Toddler
When toddlers start school prepared for learning, there is an increased likelihood of achieving grade-level reading proficiency by 3rd grade. This leads to reduced remedial costs, eliminates potential life-long gaps, and enhances the overall effectiveness of our education system for all students.
Child
Achieving grade-level reading proficiency by 3rd grade enhances the likelihood of high school graduation for children. High school dropouts face a higher risk of unemployment, and constitute a significant portion (82%) of the prison population, making early reading proficiency a critical factor in shaping future outcomes.
Adult
Completing high school increases the likelihood of pursuing higher education for children. A well-educated workforce benefits businesses, while high school graduates enter the job market as confident, accomplished, employable individuals who contribute to taxation.
