Early Childhood Education
A Core Value
Investing $700,000+

Going Places With Books, an Alliance signature program, fostered enthusiasm for books and language and promoted young children’s mastery of the early literacy skills they needed to succeed in kindergarten. From 2008 to 2017, over 350 preschoolers, from seven targeted preschools, annually boarded our enchanted Storymobile to participate in interactive read aloud experiences which integrated multimedia and bilingual elements into a carefully designed literacy curriculum.

To continue our commitment to our youngest learners, we joined a collaborative effort from 2016 to 2024 spearheaded by the Greenwich United Way focused on promoting early childhood education. Early Childhood Achievement Gap Solutions (ECAGS) utilizes data-driven solutions to help at-risk children be better prepared to enter kindergarten and achieve academic success.
