Mission Statement
Tandem, Partners in Early Learning® is a nonprofit working at the intersection of social justice and early childhood education. We envision a just society where children thrive. Towards this vision, our mission is to co-create equitable, high-quality early learning experiences in partnership with the families, educators, and organizations that we serve. We know that investing in early learning is key to interrupting patterns of racial and economic exclusion and we prioritize work with communities disproportionately impacted by systemic oppression.
