NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT: REACH Dane

REACH Dane provides high-quality early childhood education programming and comprehensive family services to our Dane County families that are struggling with homelessness and other crisis that comes with living at or below the federal poverty line. They serve Dane County parents & caregivers who often experience a housing crisis like transitional and provisionally occupied homelessness, or shelters turning them down because they are too full. Many of the families may harbor trauma of their own that can damage the precious early development that occurs during ages 0-5. Without basic necessities being met, these children cannot readily absorb educational tools and programming. Reach Dane’s services include, structured 4K curriculum, mental health supports for child and parents, free meals and transportation, essential supplies, and connections to housing and job opportunities. Their philosophy is that the parent is the best teacher so Reach Dane provides them with the tools, care, and confidence for a successful parent-child journey.
