UNITED WE LEARN

Our United We Learn initiative incorporates partnerships and intentional strategies to address the achievement gaps of students before they enter Kindergarten. Children who do not enter Kindergarten ready to learn are four times less likely to graduate from high school on time. United Way Suncoast’s Quality Childcare Initiative and sister program, United4Literacy, support the key quality components of childcare at selected early childcare centers in our 5-county footprint. High-quality preschool gives children a strong start on the path that leads to college or a career. Children need a physical setting—both inside and outdoors—where they can play, explore, and learn safely. 

Corporate and Civic Groups with 5-7 people are welcome to volunteer at one of our preschool partner sites during the week. Volunteer tasks include reading with the children, art activities, and playtime.
