I found what I’d consider to be a jewel in Northeast, DC. It’s Educare Washington, DC. it’s a program based on the best of early education practices that ensure the school readiness of children most at risk for academic failure. It’s a place of early learning that sends a clear message that we must invest in early childhood education because children are born learning. Their partnerships comprised of philanthropists, head start and early head start providers and school officials dedicated to narrowing the achievement gap for children in their communities. I was brought up to speed about Educare first hand by their enrollment coordinator JaiFawn Hood. I received a brief tour and quick conversation about Educare and the impact their making on families in the community. #realtalkpodcast
