Our Model
Innovate | Scale | Advocate
Neighborhood Villages pilots, scales, and advocates for innovative solutions that address the biggest challenges faced by early education and care providers and the families who rely on them. We show systems change in action to push policy forward.
Innovate
In partnership with five early learning centers in Boston, Massachusetts, Neighborhood Villages pilots and tests programs created to transform the early education and care delivery system. In The Neighborhood — our innovation lab — we test programs designed to scale statewide. Our goal? Demonstrate the infrastructure needed to create a high-quality, affordable, and equitable early education and care system. And prove that building it is possible.
Scale
What we test in The Neighborhood that proves to be successful, we scale statewide. In partnership with government, Neighborhood Villages operates public programs that build the capacity of providers, invest in early educators’ professional development, and promote health and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Advocate
Through narrative change, advocacy, and partnership building, Neighborhood Villages is building a movement to drive the policy change we need to ensure that all families can access a high-quality early education and care that invests in providers and in educators.
