Our United Vision
Our vision is to ensure every child has the foundation to thrive.
We believe that all children deserve a strong foundation to thrive regardless of race, zip code, or ability. We meet caregivers where they are, assess, train, coach, and support them with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that children feel safe, are nourished, and are nurtured with social-emotional and inclusive services.
Support for Early Educators
With our services, childcare providers can choose to invest in elevated supports that grow their program to meet the individual needs of the families and children they serve. U4C will partner with childcare programs and educators to reinvest in themselves and be empowered to live out their passion for children!
Our United Purpose
“Why I dedicate my time working with children is to ensure a brighter future. They are the foundation of education, community, and workforce development. I work with U4C because they are a great partner that has many resources for my children, my staff and myself, even my parents. I have learned a lot from their talented and gifted staff who cares about children and early educators as well.”
“Building a sense of community within your neighborhood betters the outcome for kindergarten readiness and family involvement! United 4 Children provides resources, financial support, professional development, and community strategies to ensure positive outcomes for all their stakeholders. This is the main reason I work with United 4 Children because they support the entire organization of early childhood education! At Cornerstone Center for Early Learning United 4 Children plays an integral role with our teaching staff, administration staff, parents, children and volunteers!”
Dana Luster has worked with United 4 Children’s team to receive coaching, nutrition services, and more. The first team member she connected with was Bridgit Gale.
“When I first decided to break off and do my own childcare, she was the first person I went to. She truly, truly made me believe I could do it. She gave me that sparkle, that fire in me to really execute my dream and my vision. And I went for it,” Luster said. “If it was not for her I don’t know if I would have done it. I didn’t have the confidence to implement my vision.”
