Early childhood learning lays the foundation for lifelong learning, well-being, and success. The early years are a critical period of growth, during which children develop the cognitive, social, and emotional skills that shape their future trajectories. High-quality early learning experiences are crucial for ensuring that children enter school ready to learn, thrive, and succeed. ​​​

Our Partners in Early Learning

Through classrooms, family-centered programs, and community-based early learning environments, early childhood programs provide a strong foundation for later learning and development. Across Arizona, these programs support early literacy, language development, and creative expression. The Burton Family Foundation is proud to partner with organizations that strengthen early learning outcomes and set Arizona’s youngest learners on a path toward long-term success.​​​
