The Early Childhood Math Development Foundation's agenda is simple: get promising students into after-school math programs such as Kumon Math™, Mathnasium™, Sylvan™, etc., These programs have proven track records in helping children to master math.

The Early Childhood Math Development Foundation address the critical and urgent needs of our communities, by creating a pipeline to college and universities. These pipeline will generate enrollment in key areas such as health care, education and in in STEM fields.

ECMDF play a vital role in development of a childs's early interest in mastering math. We assist parents by providing scholarships to fund their child's tuition to attend an after-school math program.    

There is no secret that there's an achievement gap among students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. To close his gap, improve student performance and increase graduation rates among these students, ECMDF focuses on getting students into after-school math programs. Our goal is to provide a system that will level the playing field. 

ECMDF know the problem and we have a plan

The purpose of our non-profit organization (ECDF), is to significantly increase the number of students who receive supplemental math education after school. Participation in a supplemental math program will result in improved math skill skills which will dovetail in developing strong leaders and college graduates.

- Children of single parents

- Families that receive public benefits

- Families with unstable housing

- Children in foster care

- Military dependents
