Trust Early Learners’ Big Ideas:

Systemic change only happens with partnership – The Martin Trust Partnership in Education for Early Learners in an intentional name. We are not just a school. We are a movement.

Formal Education in America needs to begin at age 3.

Early learning, particularly from the ages of 3-5 years, is a critical time of growth — adaptative, cognitive, and executive functioning to language, physical and social development.

Early Educators of children ages 3 to 5 are educators.

The only way to create a high quality, sustainable, early education system in the United States is to develop a generation of highly paid, highly valued educators of 3 to 5 year olds with the training and resources of those in higher levels of education.

Trust Early Learners is committed to delivering a high quality tuition-free early education in the Commonwealth and to be a model for the World.

With the capacity to serve 80 students each year at TEL we have created an exceptional state of the art learning environment, assembled an experienced and passionate team of educators, and created a program using the Global Early Education framework to model what is possible with philanthropic, private, and government support. Graduates of TEL are prepared for Kindergarten and a lifetime of learning.

Our school however is not the answer, it is the Model, and it is transferable– Any setting, any anywhere, every child.

The Power of Ten: Campaign for Trust Early Learners, a $10 Million fundraising and engagement effort which calls for investment in a generation of young children that are smart, capable, creative, curious, kind and deserving of a transformational early education experience because it will change them, and their families.

We are asking you to sponsor a child or a classroom of children, name spaces, support operations, cover the cost of educator’s on-going adult learning, create an endowment, invest in vulnerable children, impact your neighborhood, provide needed funds for TEL so it becomes a place available to every child.

TEL is ready for this moment.
