Mission: To provide equitable access to high-quality care and education; prepare children for future academic and social success; and strengthen families through opportunities for professional, personal, and parental growth.
Established in 1934, Foundations Preschool of Washtenaw County is Michigan’s longest-operating childcare center and a nationally accredited, five-star-rated nonprofit dedicated to providing equitable, high-quality early education. We serve children ages 6 months to 7 years, prioritizing families from historically marginalized and lower-income backgrounds. With a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we go beyond traditional government programs to meet the developmental, emotional, and social needs of our community’s youngest learners. Our values—fairness, compassion, trust, and inclusiveness—guide everything we do.
