WCGMF Grants: The Discovery Initiative

Discovery is the successor to our earlier initiative, Children First, and has the same overall aim: To improve early school success for children from birth to eight. Our first seven years of listening, reflection and experiences led to developing strategies that focus on four objectives:
  1. To expand the supply of high quality early care and education.
  2. To improve the quality of existing early care and education.
  3. To build strong connections between early care and elementary education.
  4. To improve social, emotional and academic outcomes for young children.
