“Bessie Tartt Wilson Initiative for Children believes that the road to high school graduation and successful futures begins in the crib… and high-quality early education and care are the critical first steps to getting there.

Bessie Tartt Wilson Initiative for Children focuses on social change rather than social service. We inspire action and get results.

We open doorways of hope and opportunity in an effort to ensure positive futures by enhancing the academic, social, and emotional well-being of all nursery and pre-school age children. Thank you for your interest in our work and mission.”
