For over 30 years, Way to Grow has brought the community together to address the serious and prevalent gap in early childhood education in Minneapolis. While Minnesota may be a leader in education, our children of color are too often left behind. With one of the largest opportunity gaps in the country, we have made a promise to our community—we will be there for you.

Our evidenced-based, holistic home visiting program, Great by Eight, starts early with prenatal parents and continues through the third grade, working with parents and children to empower our next generation of leaders. We are proud to work with nearly 600 families in Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center —neighbors who work hard to provide for their children and are active in their community and their child’s education.

Way to Grow leads the Twin Cities' early childhood education community with our innovative home visiting model and expansive programming. While we have impacted the lives of thousands of parents and children, we know there are families who still need our services.

Way to Grow

Every child deserves an equal opportunity to succeed in school and life.
