Early Childhood Education

Bill Daniels’ Motivation

Bill saw the need for healthy, safe, and nurturing early childhood experiences in the home and beyond. He wanted to ensure early childhood education started children on a path to success.

Desired Result

Kindergarten readiness is ensured through an improved early childhood system.

Our Strategy

• Teacher/Leadership Quality
  Teachers, leaders, and caregivers receive the essential training and support that ensures children in their care are well-prepared for kindergarten.


• Program Quality
  System-level investments improve curriculum, materials, and resources across multiple learning sites.


• Parental Engagement
  Parents and other caregivers are empowered to become "first teachers" by gaining awareness of important developmental milestones and knowledge of effective strategies to ensure children reach them.

Note: We typically do not provide funding for individual child care centers.
