We are a national philanthropic partnership investing in staff- and partner-led projects that drive progress in five key areas: movement-building, Head Start, policy, NH ChILD & networks of practice, and equitable educator pathways. The principles of ideal learning sit at the nexus of equity and quality in early childhood.

So THIS IS AWESOME! Supreme Court Justice KETANJI BROWN JACKSON has finally lived her BROADWAY dreams. From THE CNN WIRE: NEW YORK -- #KetanjiBrownJackson has fulfilled another one of her life's goals. The first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court appeared in a #Broadway show on Saturday when she took the stage in a one-night performance in "& Juliet." After the walk-on role, Jackson participated in a talkback with the audience following the performance. The show had not shared details about Jackson's role. The entertainment publication Deadline reported that the justice would take on an ensemble spot that was created for her. In her memoir "Lovely One," which the show cited in its announcement, the justice shared that, in her application essay to Harvard University, where she earned her undergraduate and law degrees, she wrote that it was her fantasy to be "the first Black, female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage." She revealed in a separate interview that, as a student at Harvard, she was a scene partner to future Academy Award winner MATT DAMON. She recalled that the scene went well for her and she received rave reviews from her professor, who was less impressed with Damon's performance. "I was like, 'Oh my god, I was better than Matt Damon in a scene,'" Jackson told CBS.

The short- and long-term successes of Head Start for Head Start children are well documented. But did you know that these effects were intergenerational? Yes, a 2022 longitudinal study found that EVEN second generation Head Start children appeared to have better long-term outcomes because of the program: higher high school graduation rates, greater college enrollment rates, reduced criminal behavior, etc. How much bigger would that impact be if all #headstart programs were to integrate ideal learning approaches in their practice? See it in action: https://lnkd.in/ekv-s5pt You can read more about the 2022 study here https://lnkd.in/efm-igSa #ideallearning #poverty #education #policy #ece #equity

When Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed Universal Pre-K into law, Trust for Learning and Early Milestones Colorado were ready! Read about how a 5-year partnership has brought increased awareness about ideal learning, significant policy developments, and an expansion of ideal learning-aligned programs serving children and families across Colorado. Direct investments promoted evidence-based practices in six communities, improving the learning environments of more than 350 young children annually. We hope other states can draw upon our experience in Colorado. Lisa Roy Leonor Lundholm Elena Bodrova Jeffrey Beal Priscilla Hopkins Deborah Leong Maegan Lokteff Katy Mattis Christina R.
