THE MISSION OF THE INSTITUTE IS TO PROVIDE THREE AND FOUR YEAR OLDS WITH SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND COGNITIVE FOUNDATIONS THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN KINDERGARTEN AND BEYOND.

ATI IS A WASHINGTON, DC-BASED NONPROFIT COMMITTED TO PROVIDING YOUNG CHILDREN WITH THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND COGNITIVE FOUNDATIONS THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN KINDERGARTEN AND BEYOND. ATI IS ACHIEVING ITS MISSION IN THREE, RELATED WAYS: "RESEARCH AND INNOVATION" ATI IS A RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS THE TEACHING AND LEARNING CHALLENGES FACING YOUNG CHILDREN. AS PART OF ITS ONGOING RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, ATI FIRST CREATED IN 2010 A PROPRIETARY, COMPREHENSIVE, AND EVIDENCE-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL, CALLED EVERY CHILD READY, FOR THREE- AND FOUR-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN. EVERY CHILD READY WAS DEVELOPED WITH SUPPORT FROM A FIVE-YEAR INVESTING IN INNOVATION GRANT FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AS WELL AS WITH FUNDING FROM A NUMBER OF MAJOR PHILANTHROPIES. OVER 20 SCHOOLS IN WASHINGTON, DC, NEW YORK CITY, AND TEXAS NOW USE EVERY CHILD READY OR ITS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. ATI IS CONSTANTLY IMPROVING AND REFINING EVERY CHILD READY BASED UPON ITS REAL-WORLD USE IN THESE SCHOOLS AS WELL AS ITS OWN ONGOING RESEARCH AND EVOLVING BEST PRACTICES IN THE FIELD OF EARLY EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, ATI IS A THOUGHT LEADER IN ITS FIELD, WORKING WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL POLICYMAKERS AND ADVOCATES TO UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPROVE EARLY-EDUCATION OUTCOMES. "DIRECT EDUCATION OF CHILDREN" IN SCHOOL YEAR 2020-2021, ATI PROVIDED FULL-SCHOOL MANAGEMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY 530 THREE- AND FOUR-YEAR-OLD STUDENTS IN WASHINGTON, DC, AT PERRY STREET PREPARATORY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL, ACHIEVEMENT PREP CHARTER SCHOOL, ROCKETSHIP RISE PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL, ROCKETSHIP LEGACY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL, AND ROCKETSHIP INFINITY COMMUNITY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL. IN SCHOOL YEAR 2021-2022, ATI WILL ALSO MANAGE THE EARLY-EDUCATION CLASSROOMS OF LEARN D.C. PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL (AT THE JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA BOLLING) AS WELL AS HARMONY DC PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL, BOTH IN WASHINGTON, DC. ALL OF THESE SCHOOLS USE ATI'S EVERY CHILD READY INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL. "SUPPORT FOR OTHER EARLY-EDUCATION SCHOOLS" ATI PROVIDED THE EVERY CHILD READY INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL TO APPROXIMATELY 500 STUDENTS AT THE SIX CAMPUSES OF APPLETREE EARLY LEARNING PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL (AELPCS) IN THE SCHOOL YEAR 2020-2021. ATI ALSO PROVIDES CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND GRANTS AND CONSULTING SERVICES TO AELPCS, AND, IN ADDITION, LEASES AND SUBLEASES FACILITIES TO AELPCS.

ATI'S EXPERT STAFF OF EDUCATORS SUPPORTS OTHER CHARTER SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS IN WASHINGTON, DC, AS WELL AS THREE CHARTER SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK CITY, ONE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, AND ONE IN DALLAS, TEXAS. ATI PROVIDES THESE SCHOOLS WITH EVERY CHILD READY CURRICULUM AND RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. IN 2019 THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AWARDED ATI A FIVE-YEAR GRANT TO REPLICATE ITS CHARTER SCHOOL SUCCESS BY HELPING TO OPEN ADDITIONAL EARLY- EDUCATION CHARTER SCHOOLS IN WASHINGTON, DC. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, TWO OF THOSE ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS - LEARN DC AND HARMONY DC - WILL OPEN FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2021-2022. THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY NOTIFIED ATI IN SPRING 2021 THAT IT HAD WON AN 8 MILLION COMPETITIVE GRANT TO DEVELOP A TEXAS-SPECIFIC VERSION OF EVERY CHILD READY, TO BE USED AS AN OPEN EDUCATION RESOURCE (OER) MADE AVAILABLE FREE-OF-CHARGE TO ALL SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
