Strong Beginnings is a four-year program led by the University of Notre Dame and partners using the L3 (lakay, lekòl, legliz / home, school, church) model for learning and emotional support for vulnerable children, aged 3-8, and their families. Increased investments in social and emotional learning (SEL) and scaled-up innovative, early childhood development (ECD) approaches are needed to prepare Haitian children for early grade, mother tongue literacy (Haitian Creole and French). The ultimate goal is to equip students with strong academic and SEL skills to become lifelong readers, learners, and citizens by the end of 2nd grade.
