Educare is a nationwide network of early childhood champions dedicated to advancing quality early learning so every child thrives.
Our Approach
We believe quality early care and education increase opportunity for all children.
As a nationwide network of birth-to-five schools, we partner with families and communities to impact the lives of thousands of young children. Our approach extends beyond the classroom via partnership and innovation around practice, policy and research to help ensure every child can thrive.
Educare schools are located in urban, suburban, rural and tribal communities across the country.
Today, 25 Educare schools provide early learning and care to more than 4,000 infants and toddlers. Each Educare Center school partners with teachers, families and communities to set kids up for success and elevate the quality of early childhood education in America.
