Our Partners
Mind the Gap partners with public and private organizations committed to improving outcomes for preschool-aged children impacted by poverty, chronic stress, and limited access to resources. In this sector there are so many gaps that need to be addressed. For children fighting systemic poverty, this gap starts from birth. For organizations, there is often a gap between the mission and educator training. At Mind The Gap, we are looking to target these specific gaps to make a real-world impact one organization at a time.
Our work is designed to align with the mission, structures, and constraints of the early childhood systems doing this work.
