Children who receive quality early education are 44% more likely to graduate high school. They also go on to earn 42% more than peers who didn’t get that crucial head start. And with 95% of brain development happening in the first five years, the early years shape everything that follows.

That’s where you come in. By supporting First Up, you’re strengthening the foundation of early learning—lifting up educators with one-on-one coaching, mentorship, professional development, and dedicated advocacy. Because when teachers thrive, children soar.
