Appletree is committed to closing the achievement gap before children get to Kindergarten. Through its early learning model, Every Child Ready (ECR), AppleTree provides three- and four-year-old students with social, emotional and cognitive foundation. The model supports schools with curriculum, professional learning and assessments and an overall opportunity to expand into pre-K. Today, ECR is delivered to 22 charter schools in Washington, D.C. and New York City.
