The Mission of JO’S Learning Academy is to increase the success of low income young children in academic, social-emotional, and literacy skills and to empower the families as partners in their children’s success.

Vision

Each year an increasing number of children in urban-low income settings enter childcare, pre-school, kindergarten and after school programs with multiple issues of risk and challenges. Young children especially face challenges in the areas of literacy and language. Social and emotional issues, unhealthy diet, and low expectations often created by environment in which they live make school success even more difficult.
