Tutor students in Florida.
Helping Florida’s youngest learners make a strong start in school.
In Florida, fewer than half of all fourth-grade students are proficient in reading and math. Helping children build early reading and math skills ignites a love of learning and sets them up for success. Together, we can help more preschool kids make a strong start.
Early Learning Corps trains everyday people to make an incredible impact as tutors. By placing tutors in local preschool classrooms, our youngest learners get extra academic support and encouragement. Tutors spend their days talking, singing, playing, reading, and writing with children to help them build skills and confidence.
Since launching in 2015, our tutors in Florida have already helped more than 14,200 local students get on track to succeed! You can be part of creating more success stories in Florida. Learn more about our opportunities to get involved.

The Need in Florida
Did you know about 90% of a child’s brain development happens before the age of 5? That’s why the early years are so important for building the reading and math skills children need to succeed in school and beyond.
But in Florida, too many students need a boost getting to grade level. According to the 2024 Nation’s Report Card, only 33% of fourth graders are proficient in reading, and just 45% are proficient in math.
Early Learning Corps is helping change that! Tutors provide extra academic support and encouragement to help students build foundational reading and math skills, setting them up for success.
