Watch this video narrated by Morgan Freeman to learn more about why the gap occurs and how we can close it. The video created by the Campaign for Grade Level Reading describes that for children without access to resources:

• by the time of 3rd birthday, they can be exposed to 30,000,000 fewer words.
• by the time of kindergarten, they can fall behind in language and pre-reading skills by 12-14 months.
• by the time of 3rd grade, if not reading at grade-level, they’re 13x’s more likely to drop out of high-school

Bringing School Home: Early Childhood

Bringing School Home provides child-focused, parent-centered two-generation services at the point of greatest impact: home.

Our service-enriched housing model strives to improve housing stability for families with children prenatal through age 5; to increase access to affordable, quality childcare and early education; and to improve child health and well-being.

Funds support summer learning programs for young children, parenting classes, emergency needs for families, resource coordination, and leadership and community engagement opportunities.

Internet and Computer Access

Having access to the internet is one of the key predictors of educational attainment and future income. We understood this impact several years ago, and in 2012 we launched a campaign to provide internet access at all of our deeply affordable apartment communities serving families.

We continue to support opportunities for internet and device access as technology is an ever-increasing part of educational and career development.
