Place Matters
Because student success requires full-family support,
Learn to Earn Dayton has launched or supported initiatives that address place-based, multi-generational needs.
Power of Place
In 2021, Learn to Earn Dayton was tapped by national partners to invest in the community in a meaningful way. L2ED worked to center power in the heart of the community while amplifying resident voice was the Northwest Dayton Partnership, a two-year initiative that resulted in the Power of Place plan, and continues to positively impact the Hope Zone neighborhoods as priority projects, such as Access to Counsel, Civic Leadership Program, and Pathways to Homeownership, are launched.
Learn to Earn Dayton acts as the backbone organization for the Montgomery County Two-Generation Collaborative - providing a network of best practices and resources for the partner organizations serving the neighborhoods.

Kindergarten Readiness
Ohio uses the “Kindergarten Readiness Assessment” tool to facilitate guided observation of a child’s preparedness for school. Skilled kindergarten teachers assess students within the first six weeks of school to make determinations about the child’s knowledge and ability in four key areas: social and emotional development, language and literacy, mathematics, and physical well-being and motor development.
