AppleTree is an innovative nonprofit that develops and provides proven early childhood education programs to the most underserved three- and four-year-olds to close the achievement gap before students enter kindergarten. AppleTree is an entrepreneurial enterprise consisting of AppleTree Institute for Education Innovation and AppleTree Early Learning Public Charter School, with seven public charter preschool campuses serving as models for effective teaching and learning. Our innovative program has four core components: a focus on instructional quality, standards-based curriculum, quality classrooms, and a commitment to using data. AppleTree is expanding and scaling Every Child Ready--a national prototype for improved teacher effectiveness. Every Child Ready is a comprehensive instructional model that drives how to teach, what to teach, and how to tell it's being done to increase teacher effectiveness and children's learning in early childhood classrooms.

Jackie Mader of the The Hechinger Report has written a vitally important piece on how early educators can be trained and supported to deliver warm, interactive and responsive care. My mentor the developmental scientist, Urie Bronfenbrenner stressed that any child could thrive and flourish if they had one adult who was “absolutely crazy” about their care and nurturing. And organizations such as LENA, TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health, All Our Kin, Inc. Jumpstart, Acelero Learning AppleTree Institute for Education Innovation have taken the lead in developing new training and measurement techniques to ensure that language development and close adult-childhood relationships are advanced in child care settings across the US.
