OneSky envisions a time where all the world’s children are valued and considered a precious human resource worthy of investment. We create and implement simple, replicable, model early learning programs designed to unlock the vast potential of vulnerable at-risk young children through nurturing, responsive care. OneSky builds early childhood development and learning models to help caregivers and institutions better serve marginalized young children in their communities. Through two decades of successful programming in Asia, we have transformed the lives of 130,000 orphaned and abandoned children and trained more than 13,000 caregivers. We work in institutions as well as villages to create scalable, low-cost approaches to mitigating the damage to young children left behind in poverty-stricken rural villages. We help train and improve the caregivers’ nurturing skills, which in turn increases children’s learning readiness and social- emotional development. We also create partnership opportunities for government agencies, business owners and communities to invest in the healthy development of the next generation of their society. We believe that engaging and empowering local organizations and people is the key to our success, and that in so doing OneSky’s contribution will continue long after our pilot models are successfully implemented. Now that our approach has been proven, we know we can impact the lives of millions more at-risk children, in all parts of the world. The next step is to bring our models and adapt them to the unique cultural context and needs of other countries, with the ultimate goal of informing and influencing government policy, and spurring systemic change vis a vis vulnerable children. To this end, OneSky is developing a model early childcare program for migrant and working families in the Hoa Khanh Industrial Zone in Danang, where childcare is unregulated and/or non-existent. We expect this new and exciting initiative will have a profoundly positive effect on the lives of children and families in the area. As our first program in Vietnam, it will serve as the pilot for expansion into other provinces in Vietnam, and other countries in the future. The Early Learning Center will serve as a national model demonstration and training facility and the Early Education Specialist will be a significant contributor to our success.
