A New Chapter for Early Learning — Help Make It Successful
During the pandemic, You Be You Early Learning (YbY) brought education directly to children through a classroom on wheels, ensuring families could access high-quality early learning when they needed it most. That innovative model removed barriers of cost, transportation, and access — and it changed lives.
Now, as communities rebuild and reconnect, YbY is entering an exciting new chapter.
In 2026, YbY will open its first stationary, community-focused classroom, creating a welcoming, consistent space where children can learn, grow, and build the strong foundation they deserve. While the format is evolving, the mission remains the same: delivering inclusive, no-cost early childhood education to families who need it most.
This transition is a major milestone — and it requires community support to ensure success.

Mission
You be You Early Learning is a teacher-led non-profit focused on increasing access to Early Childhood Education by providing holistic programing and capacity-building opportunities for students, families and educators in historically marginalized Colorado communities.
Background Statement
You Be You Early Learning (YbY) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making quality early childhood education more accessible, inclusive, and meaningful for children, families, and communities. Rooted in holistic education, YbY recognizes that every child is unique and that meaningful learning happens through relationships, exploration, creativity, play, and connection with the world around us.
Building on its experience providing innovative, community-based early learning opportunities, YbY is entering a new chapter focused on supporting Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) caregivers and early childhood educators. Through accessible professional development, hands-on workshops, online training, and educational resources, YbY helps caregivers strengthen their knowledge, develop practical skills, and build confidence in supporting children's growth and development.
YbY believes that empowering the adults who care for young children creates a lasting impact that extends beyond the classroom and into homes and communities. By fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and building supportive networks, YbY works toward a future where every child has access to nurturing, enriching, and equitable early learning experiences.
