Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We aim to provide equal, inclusive early childhood education access to all children under 6 by giving parents and daycare workers AIM: the awareness, information, and motivation they need to support children's dreams and futures. Through partnerships, mass awareness, and a low-cost artificial intelligence and machine learning solution, we are on a journey to eradicate inequality and ensure all children, regardless of their area of residence or socio- economic status, are ready for school and life.

Activities or mission (Part I)

ROCKET LEARNING'S MISSION IS TO TO ERADICATE THE INEQUALITY FACED BY LOW-INCOME CHILDREN BY SUPPORTING THEIR CAREGIVERS WITH ADEQUATE TOOLS AND SKILLS; TO ENABLE UNIVERSAL HIGH-QUALITY EARLY LEARNING INSTITUTIONS THROUGH RESULTS-BASED SOLUTIONS, CAPABILITY BUILDING AND TECHNOLOGY; TO BUILD A CATALYTIC EXPERT ORGANIZATION IN THE EARLY LEARNING SPACE.

  • Rocket Learning builds vibrant digital communities of parents and teachers to support early childhood education for underprivileged children. We partner with institutions and organizations to deliver age-appropriate, play-based learning content to teachers and parents of pre-schoolers. This group model creates social motivation and peer effects to incentivise teachers and parents to conduct these activities with children and share responses back with the group. Our technology complements this with real-time behavioural nudges and rewards such as personalized report cards and medals that are sent at scale through automation. Our solution has demonstrated learning gains, and is inherently cost-effective and scalable.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
