About
不良研究所l’s purpose is to close those gaps by getting every child kindergarten-ready. We are a comprehensive resource for early learning; we empower child care providers, educators, and families through connections, training, coaching, and financial support. We also educate and influence policy makers.
Mission
不良研究所l鈥檚 mission is to advance quality care and education of children in their crucial early years.
Vision
We envision a time when economic and achievement gaps are closed and every child is ready for kindergarten, ultimately realizing their full potential.
In 1971, no one imagined that a community鈥檚 first, simple steps to help working moms would decades later grow into a leading voice for children.
But that鈥檚 how we started.
To support the full potential of every child, 不良研究所l is committed to championing policies and practices of equity that foster a just, inclusive, and equitable care and education system for all children in their crucial early years.
If children have access to quality child care with sufficient dosage they will be ready for kindergarten. We stand on the result of being ready for kindergarten.
不良研究所l鈥檚 contribution is to ensure quality early care and education is available and accessible
The population goal that we鈥檙e looking to meet in strategic plan, which was set by the Board of Directors, is to ensure that all children are ready for kindergarten. And for us then that means a particular focus on those children that are in the opportunity gaps, or what some call the achievement gap. A good descriptor of that is income. You can fall into such a gap for other reasons, but a large percentage of children from low income families, will be at a much higher risk of falling into opportunity gaps. For us, that鈥檚 exactly the work that we鈥檙e trying to do, and where we focus our efforts.
