• Our Mission Statement

    EMLI creates and supports evidence-based intervention programs in math and language skills development for families of children in under-resourced communities.

  • Our Vision

    Our vision is a world where early, positive academic experiences fuel children’s intrinsic desire to learn, where families of all backgrounds feel empowered to support their child academically, and where socioeconomic status is no longer a barrier to academic success.

    Our Philosophy

    EMLI believes children’s natural curiosity must be nurtured in a fertile ecosystem that supports the child academically and encourages social responsibility. EMLI also believes that research-informed early mathematics and language interventions for young children in vulnerable economic situations are an effective means of addressing educational inequalities. EMLI addresses social emotional learning and utilizes instructional methodologies that capitalizes on math and language synergy in early learning.
