We are overwhelmed by the support given to us from parents of our Waterford UPSTART children. We know you may ask yourself, “How can I help?” The answer is, help by sponsoring a child, so they can receive the same advantages in life as your child.
The average Waterford UPSTART graduate enters kindergarten reading at nearly a first-grade level.
Academic gains from Waterford UPSTART continue through the 4th grade, especially among at-risk populations.
Waterford graduates outperform nearly 80% of non-Waterford children in literacy-skills.
Parent Support and Coaching – Many at-risk communities struggle to provide families with early education resources. Waterford UPSTART empowers parents with the tools they need to guide their child to academic success.
Technology They Cannot Afford – Waterford UPSTART provides new laptops for children to use our software, but that also allows family members to learn, communicate, and grow, eliminating the technology gap in many low-income homes.
Internet Access They Cannot Afford – A lack of reliable high-speed Internet can be a barrier to education options. Waterford UPSTART resolves this access issue by providing Internet directly in the homes of participants.
Award-Winning Early Learning Software – Waterford UPSTART provides early education access directly in the homes, which proves successful in as little as 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
