2025 First Up Annual Report
Thriving Together
As we reflect on the past year at First Up, we believe that early childhood education is not just a profession, it’s a calling. Our theme, Thriving Together, captures the essence of our work and the spirit of our mission: empowering early childhood educators, families, and communities to ensure every child from birth to age eight has access to high-quality care and education. As you explore this report, you’ll see the impact of our work with Professionals, Programs, Systems, and Families, all guided by a strong Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) lens. This year’s theme reminds us that our greatest strength lies in Collaboration, Connection, and Community. Whether through our Annual Conference, which welcomed over 600 attendees, or through one-on-one coaching and mentorship, we have seen firsthand how collaboration fuels innovation, resilience, and growth.
