With a strong focus on a child’s first 8 years, First Up works with early childhood educators and professionals to influence public policy, offer workshops and professional development, as well as strengthening the overall educational experience for children. Partners include the Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse in developing the region’s first Urban Nature Preschool. First up is also a member of the West Philadelphia Action for Early Learning Initiative, and together they “work to create an education support system for families in the 19104 zip code; specifically in the high-need, high-poverty neighborhoods of West Philadelphia, known collectively as the West Philadelphia Promise Zone”.
