A Chance to Learn was founded in 2011 to combat the issue of children entering kindergarten who are deficient in their academic skill set. At their inception, they focused on building skills important for children 0 to 5 years old. Their comprehensive programs promote high-quality school readiness, thus increasing all children's chances of achieving future educational success and becoming productive members of society. In 2016, A Chance to Learn launched its "Motivated Mom" and "A Parent's Promise" platform to help moms become more engaged in their child (ren)'s education. Motivated Moms became a program under A Chance to Learn January 2019 to accommodate the overwhelming need for parent engagement and services. Their programs walk parents through the developmental relationship framework model to build better relationships with their children, spouses, or significant others, teachers, and the community.
Our programs have expanded to serve six cities in four states, three school partners, 15,000 pregnant moms, and over 5,000 children.
Mission: We are committed to enhancing and transforming the lives of children and their grown ups through comprehensive early education, empowering parent engagement programs, and essential perinatal health support.
A Chance to Learn believes that all people - regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, zip code, health and ability status, or any other consideration, are equal and should have value, and opportunity for a chance to learn.
