Waterford.org is a pre-k program that seeks to blend the best aspects of learning science, mentoring relationships, and innovative technologies to form community, school, and home programs that deliver excellence and equity for all learners.
Waterford.org knows that every child deserves an equitable, high-quality early education.
For more than 40 years, Waterford has partnered with families, schools, communities, and government organizations to provide access to educational resources and deliver individualized, research-driven learning resources to all young learners.
Equity and inclusion are at the heart of our work at Waterford. These principles guide our actions and the programs we create for learners and families.
We are dedicated to developing accessible, high-quality learning programs for all children, regardless of background, means, location, or other circumstances. With a commitment to equity and access, we can ensure all children have the opportunity for success.
We strive to help children build a strong foundation in literacy, so every student reads at grade level by the end of second grade. When children can learn by reading, they can understand the world around them and find success in every aspect of their lives.
We believe the best educational outcomes occur when teachers, students, and parents align in a healthy partnership. By creating structures that foster this partnership, parents can confidently drive their child’s education with guidance and support from educators.
Waterford Upstart is an at-home early learning program that gives you the tools, coaching, and resources so you can put your child on a path to academic success.
Whether over the summer or through the school year, generous supporters enable us to offer this program at no cost to families – the only thing you’ll spend is time with your child!
