Exponential kids Project


Early Childhood  Accelerated Learning Program

Fact:

​Out of 62 municipalities in the Southern Suburbs of Chicago,  educational/developmental support for gifted or advanced  learners under the age of 5 is practically nonexistent.  

collaborative Mission

Our mission is to introduce missing educational and enrichment components back into the school systems of underrepresented and underserved children and youth, of Chicago’s South Side and South Suburban area.  We have set out to provide innovative educational curriculum, tools, resources, services, and support (that directly impact) underrepresented and underserved children and youth in the areas of pre-primary gifted and accelerated education, informal STEM learning opportunities, financial literacy, and business professionalism.

Our Current Funding Initiative- $25,000 by August 1st 2020
To implement our Exponential Kids Program as outlined below...

PROGRAM Purpose

The main purpose of our "Exponential Kids" program is to:
  • Create access to gifted and accelerated preschool learning programs in underrepresented geographical areas, where such opportunities are non-existent. 
  • Raise the awareness of gifted potential and accelerated learners under age 5.
  • Assist parents in identifying whether their child(ren) may be gifted or accelerated learners. 
  • Provide support to the parents and families of gifted and/or accelerated early learners.
  • Promote and facilitate access to information, resources, and assessments, as it pertains to giftedness and accelerated early learners. 

About our program

Our "Exponential Kids" program will serve youth between the ages of 18 months-5 years old, that reside in the South Suburbs of Chicago, where there is a need for innovative alternative education options for gifted and accelerated learners of preschool age.  Our primary project objective is to provide opportunities for alternative methods of education for gifted and accelerated learners under the age of 5 years, in an area were such education is non-existent.  Our implementation will be in the form of an income based gifted and accelerated learning enrichment program for children 18 months- 5 years old.  In an effort to develop the perfect curriculum for our program we have partnered with several early childhood education professionals and providers such as; Patricia Mitchell of Yes I Can- Learning and Development and Wanikka Vance of Foundations 4AdVANCEment.
Additionally, we have been in talks with local park districts regarding partnerships and offering our program through neighboring towns.  We also plan to use this project’s platform to create additional opportunities for gifted families to interact and engage with others that are facing some of the same systemic educational hurdles.
Together we can reach our goal and increase access to gifted learning. 
​As a gift- for every $25 you donate you will receive an entry into our vacation gift-away drawing.
