Quality early childhood education (ECE) is critical for children’s long-term well-being, and lack of access intersects with and exacerbates generational poverty. We aim to change this with our new program: the Early Childhood Education Fellowship. The fellowship covers full tuition for JP teachers and JP moms pursuing degrees in ECE. We hope this investment helps keep more credentialed teachers in the field — and ensures continued high-quality education for JP kids. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3z7PP73

Both daycare and early childhood education centers provide safe environments for children while their parents work or attend school. However, what sets early childhood education apart is its focus on learning. High-quality early learning programs develop children’s confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills. They have proven lifetime benefits, from better school performance to higher wages in adulthood. That’s why quality early childhood education is one of JP’s core pillars.
