Edkey, Inc. DBA Children First Academy

MISSION

To provide high quality educational services and resources to students with wide-ranging social, emotional, and academic needs, in a safe, stable, engaging, and empowering environment, in preparation for current and future success.   

We accomplish our mission by reducing and eliminating the barriers and obstacles that interfere with the education of each child. We provide an educational curriculum that brings each child's performance up to and beyond their proper grade level. The school focuses on the physical, mental and emotional barriers and obstacles to education by providing many on-site services (medical, dental, counseling), material items (clothing, food, hygiene items, availability of showers, washers & dryers) and unique adaptations to normally mundane services (flexible bus routes that can change daily based on frequent moving of children's families).

PROGRAM

We are committed to fighting the devastating effects of homelessness and extreme poverty on children.  The experience, often spanning their entire childhood, is extremely debilitating as it damages emotional and physical health, impedes development, and interferes with a child's education
