EARLY EDUCATION & OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME

DRIVE

INVESTING IN VITAL EARLY EDUCATION WITH DATA & RESOURCES

A data-powered, community-driven, scalable early childhood model. DRIVE works to advance equitable developmental screening and referral practices across communities.
As champions of developmental screening since 2014, we partner with early education programs, family childcare educators, housing agencies, state agencies, and municipalities through our DRIVE initiative to promote healthy child development by working to ensure universal access to developmental screening and connection to resources across our footprint and beyond. Our community partners guide us to ensure DRIVE has the best developmental screening practices and enhances the referral process for children and families. We know that screening is an access point - leading families to a variety of resources and empowering them to build the support system needed for their family to thrive.
