All Five

All Five is a non-profit organization based in Menlo Park, California, dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education. With a team of 22 employees, All Five strives to create a sustainable network of schools that increase access to early learning opportunities, particularly for children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. All Five focuses on children from birth through age five, recognizing the critical importance of brain development during these early years. Their approach integrates five key practices: starting education at birth, a public-private funding model, socioeconomic diversity, fair compensation for teachers, and family and community involvement. This comprehensive model aims to prevent the opportunity gap by providing children with a strong foundation for future success. The organization is actively working to expand its reach. Their first pilot school is set to open in San Mateo County in 2015, serving 24 to 48 children. By August 2018, they aim to serve 108 children and establish a sustainable model at their first location, with plans to open a second school in the Bay Area.
