As an educator, I think it's critical we raise awareness about inequities that still exist in access to quality education. In 2023, a child's zip code should not determine the resources and opportunities available at their school. Organizations like Early Steps work specifically to promote equity by empowering parents of color to navigate the independent school admissions process. When Early Steps helps students gain acceptance at independent schools in NYC, it opens up an immense set of opportunities - not just academic rigor, but exposure to people, ideas, and experiences that inspire big dreams and pathways to achieve them. This kind of access should be available to all students, regardless of background. Consider learning more and sharing this resource with parents of color with young ones who are looking for educational opportunities.
When Early Steps helps a child of color in #NYC gain acceptance into an independent school, it opens a whole world of opportunity. Not only a rigorous academic environment, but exposure to people, ideas and experiences that inspire big dreams and create real paths to achieve them. This #GivingTuesday, let’s keep opening doors together: www.earlysteps.org/donate.
