Core Features of Educare

Children and families from low-income homes often face unique barriers in developing the foundations for success in school: early language and literacy skills, as well as social-emotional-behavioral skills.

Educare's program model is specifically designed to help at-risk children and their families overcome such barriers so that children get what they need to arrive at kindergarten ready to learn and do not start far behind their more advantaged peers.
