AT&T & MAOF: Bridging the Digital Divide in our Preschools

In early 2006, MAOF partnered with AT&T to provide the “BeSchoolReady Program” to four hundred and fifty (450) 3- 5 year old preschool students in MAOF’s Los Angeles County service area.

The MAOF-AT&T BeSchoolReady Program, made possible by AT&T’s generous $25,000 contribution, provides 450 preschoolers with access to the BeSchoolReady Program’s dynamic, internet based curriculum. For many children this is their first educational experience with computers so the project also addresses the critical issue of the digital divide in the Latino community. The preschoolers receive scientifically based learning activities and individualized instruction where they will develop cognitive skills, basic language skills, and improve their chances of kindergarten success.

This generous donation is a boost to MAOF’s preschool program and highlights AT&T’s commitment to our community. MAOF thanks AT&T for their forward thinking approach to education and access to technology.
