Education is the foundation for a good life, setting an individual on a path of personal fulfillment, economic security and social contribution.  Having a good education is essential for lifelong success.  We are committed to addressing the education disparity that exists in our region; currently, children in wealthier towns have much higher rates of preschool attendance, academic achievement, and on-time graduation than students in our lower-income communities.  This disparity affects all of us because the workforce of tomorrow will be today's children.  United Way's efforts in education focus on children from birth to age 18. 

Your support will:

• Increase the number of low-income children who attend quality early education programs

• Provide accreditation training for child care providers
  

• Educate parents on how support their children's development
