About
Early Learning Corps offers play, song, instruction, activities, conversation, games, and fun activities with preschool students. The program includes literacy-building activities, numeracy-building activities, and transition songs as part of its daily work with children. Tutors are placed in preschool classrooms and promote individualized learning experiences through these activities.
• Ages: 3–5 years old
• Price: Some locations pay a site fee.
Early Learning Corps serves ages 3–5 and has served 130,141 students. The program’s mission is to help the youngest learners start strong. Early Learning Corps provides proven early learning tutoring in preschools across the country and has scaled nationally to benefit schools in urban, suburban, and rural communities. Each year, Early Learning Corps partners with nearly 2,000 schools and mobilizes more than 3,000 tutors across the country. Reading Corps, Math Corps, and Early Learning Corps are AmeriCorps tutoring programs that have served students since 2003 and together have served more than 570,000 students. Early Learning Corps is listed as an AmeriCorps tutoring program proven to help students build strong skills and is described as cost-effective and providing hundreds of hours of support for students and staff. Early Learning Corps provides technical support to partner organizations that have licensed the program in certain states.
The goal of Early Learning Corps is to prepare preschoolers to be ready for Kindergarten. Preschool students in the program achieve significantly higher assessment scores than their peers by the end of one year, and students demonstrate greater growth than their peers regardless of gender, race, or dual language learner status. One report notes that 100% of Early Learning Corps students had significantly higher literacy scores on all five early literacy measures, including vocabulary, phonological awareness, and alphabet knowledge. Ninety-nine percent of school partners, including principals, would recommend Early Learning Corps to others.
Early Learning Corps trains ordinary people to serve as tutors. One Early Learning Tutor shared that the lessons taught are games and fun activities rather than work. Another tutor said they are excited about giving kids new learning methods so that as they get older, they will not forget the methods used. A tutor described realizing they were making a difference when children sang out transition songs and learned how to rhyme and count syllables. Anderson, an Early Learning Tutor in Miami, FL, said that students have progressed and that serving has helped in accomplishing personal and professional goals. Wendy, an Early Learning Tutor in Minneapolis, MN, described the sessions as math games and reading stories that feel like play and are carefully researched and structured to provide deep learning.
