Join us to help local Early Childhood Education Providers!

A child’s first eight years are a crucial time in their educational development. The way a child learns before eight will shape how they develop and learn forever. 

That’s where First Up comes in: We work directly with early childhood educators (Birth – 8 years) and professionals in the Greater Philadelphia Area. First Up offers affordable, top-notch professional development, technical assistance, and coaching to help teachers learn best practices in the field, connect with other professionals, and improve the quality of their childcare centers and programs.

Over the last 50 years, First Up has made a significant impact on the Early Childhood Education (ECE) field in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Our Early Learning Specialists have helped hundreds of early childhood programs reach national accreditation standards. Our advocacy team has created a statewide grassroots advocacy network that has grown to more than 3,000 individuals and organizations working each day to influence public policy.

Walking or running with First Up will help us continue to provide teachers with the training and resources needed to give Greater Philadelphia’s youngest learners the highest quality education and care possible.

How Your Support Makes a Difference:

Run or Walk with First Up on October 6th, 2019 and help us continue to support the teachers and professionals we serve. All proceeds from this event will go towards First Up’s Teacher Professional Development Fund, which directly benefits Early Childhood Education providers in the Greater Philadelphia region.

Established in 2019, First Up’s Teacher Professional Development Fund was created to honor the memory of Phyllis Kohn and Lou Warren-Groomes, two extraordinary First Up staff who devoted their careers to supporting early childhood education teachers in the development of their careers. All contributions will support our outreach to make professional development available to every member of the ECE community in the Philadelphia region. 

If you wish, your gift to the First Up Teacher Professional Development Fund can be made in honor or in memory of a special teacher in your life or made in memory of Lou Warren-Groomes or Phyllis Kohn.
