For over three decades, Way to Grow has worked to address the serious and prevalent gap in early childhood education in the Twin Cities. With a culturally diverse team of Family Educators, we provide free, year-round family support and educational programming for families, prenatal through grade 3, ensuring all children are ready to succeed in school and beyond!

"Great by Eight" starts early with prenatal parents and continues through the third grade delivering resources, education curriculum and support. We are proud to work with 600 families in Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and surrounding suburbs—neighbors who work hard to provide for their children and are active in their community and their child’s education.

Our Family Educators focus on building trusted relationships with parents and children. The result: children ready to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
