Bridge The Gap is a 501(c)(3) project by fiscal sponsor Colabria, for which Trehaus Philanthropy is supporting as operating partner and tech sponsor
Bridge The Gap Project is dedicated to ensuring that all children—no matter their geographic location or economic background—have access to high-quality early childhood education.
Our Mission
60% OF CHILDREN
do not receive any form of formal early childhood education
FIRST 8 YEARS
of life are crucial for building the foundation for future learning, health, and life success
There is a gap between acknowledging the importance of early years and allocating resources to early childhood education, leaving vulnerable children behind - we are bridging that gap.
BUILD PARTNERSHIPS
We forge partnerships with educators, administrators, and community leaders across the globe who are dedicated to ensuring the underserved children in their communities have access to quality early education.
BRIDGE THE GAP
Through our grants, we empower schools and foundations to implement Trehaus’s proven early childhood education solutions—providing access to teacher training, curriculum support, and essential learning tools through the Little Lab platform. Our funding can also support broader school needs, ensuring each project is not only effective, but also locally relevant, sustainable, and scalable.
Projects + Tools Our Grants Can Help Fund
This year, we’re launching new global initiatives aimed at reaching the world’s most underserved children through two core project models:
Neighborhood School Partnerships
We work with organizations, preschools, and after-school programs to:
Support first-generation learners and children affected by displacement, homelessness, or poverty
Equip schools with essential classroom resources, research-backed curricula, teacher training, and digital learning tools
Build safe, nurturing learning environments where every child is seen, supported, and inspired
Scalable Pilot Programs for Systemic Change
We collaborate with foundations and government agencies to:
Launch and expand large-scale pilots in public and government schools
Use Trehaus’s tech-enabled solutions to train teachers and elevate learning outcomes
Leverage real-time data to develop models that can scale—impacting millions of children over time
These initiatives are powered by a suite of Little Lab tools designed to support implementation, training, and impact at scale.
Our Values
OUTCOMES
We refine and maximize the impact of our programs, ensuring every child receives top-quality education.
ACCESS
We rewrite the narrative that most children worldwide lack any form of early education.
We commit to creating an educational system that is inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the needs of all learners.
EDUCATION EQUALITY

T A K E A C T I O N T O D A Y
Every child deserves the chance to thrive—but millions still lack access to quality early education simply because of where they were born or the circumstances they face.
You can help change that.
