Research shows that children who participate in high-quality early childhood programs are more likely to enter kindergarten ready to learn.
The Orchard Foundation developed and coordinates its early math literacy program, Math to Build On, to help prepare young children for school success by helping them understand math concepts long before they set foot in a classroom. The goal of the Math to Build On program is to develop and strengthen math skills through reading and activities and to help families learn how to continue to reinforce the learning at home so children will be ready when they enter kindergarten.
