The Ounce of Prevention Fund developed the first Educare school in 2000 in Chicago to prepare low-income children for success in school and life. In 2004, the Ounce and the Buffett Early Childhood Fund created the Bounce Learning Network to launch Educare schools across the country.
Each Educare school provides the quality care and early education to infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families that science shows is needed to narrow the academic achievement gap for students in high-risk communities.
Educare is:
- a Partnership between the private and public sectors to create an effective, birth-to-five program that achieves higher levels of quality.
- a Place that nurtures early learning, is a beacon of hope for the community, and sends a firm message that we must invest in early childhood -- because children are born learning.
- a Program to prepare young, at-risk children for school by implementing the approaches and practices that science tells us are necessary to helping young children succeed in school and life.
- a Platform for Change, with each Educare Center serving as a "showroom for quality" and a catalyst to drive broader policy and systems change in the state and nationally.
