The Promise
In 2014, E3: Elevate Early Education created The New E3 School located in the Park Place neighborhood of Norfolk. Our school is an innovative, mixed-income model for children ages one to five. We set out to give more children equitable access to quality early education + prove that when all children have access regardless of their zip code, they enter kindergarten with the academic and social skills they need to thrive. We have proven that year after year.
