Bachman Lake Together is a nonprofit, collective-impact initiative that connects families, community partners and supporters in a shared purpose: giving every child in our neighborhood the opportunity to thrive by giving them a solid foundation in the earliest, most critical developmental years of ages 0-5.
We recognize that children do not drive themselves to kindergarten, so we bring together parents, community partners and supporters to achieve our shared goal of kindergarten readiness in Bachman Lake. We focus on kindergarten-readiness because of its impact on education, income and health outcomes, through the following strategies:
1) Developing parent leaders
2) Improving systems that drive kindergarten readiness
3) Increasing well-being among families with young children.
Giving to Bachman Lake Together means supporting a community of thriving children and families!
Bachman Lake Together’s mission is to unite the Bachman Lake Community to fully prepare children for kindergarten – academically, socially and emotionally – so they can thrive in school and in life.
Strong starts build strong futures. When children are prepared to enter kindergarten ready to learn, they are four times more likely to graduate from high school. High school graduates have a higher rate of continuing on to university, ultimately leading to increased earnings in adulthood, improved health, maintain good health and overall well-being long-term, and contribute to their community and the education of the next generation.
Since 2009, Bachman Lake Together, has worked alongside its parent leaders, community members and partner agencies to lay the foundation for success. These principals are key to our work in improving kindergartner readiness in the Bachman Lake community. We believe that lifting up and including the varied perspectives of our constituents is critical to ensuring all children have the opportunity to succeed.
