Let's hear it for our pre-k teacher, Boniece! She describes our school community as, 'dedicated, community driven, and understanding.' If you're ready to give students the confidence to achieve success, then join #EducareDC as we level the playing field for young children.
'I'm a professional teacher with my bachelor's degree. I should be getting the same as DC Public School system teachers. I shouldn't be paid less.' - Tamu Moore, lead teacher at Educare DC. The DC Council must fully fund the #PayEquityFund when they vote on the budget next week.
Our little stars are shining! Look at all our kids who have 85% or better attendance. We're continuing to ensure our kids are gaining foundational skills to last a lifetime. Need help improving your child's #attendance ? Contact your family engagement specialist to work on a plan.
There's only a few days left to raise our voices and tell the DC Council to keep its commitment to early childhood teachers and protect the #PayEquityFund . Call your DC Councilmembers here: bit.ly/Call4Childcare Under 3 DC

Look who's counting! Our PK4 students are #mathematicians hard at work. They are completing number sentences and doing one-to-one correspondence. One-to-one correspondence is the precursor to most math concepts. Parents practice one-to-one correspondence with your kids. Share.
