At CDF Action, we believe that access to quality early care and learning is a fundamental right for every child. Your support will help us continue our mission.

Join us in building a brighter, more equitable future for all children!

OUR KEY PROGRAMS

We use an asset-based community development approach to catalyze change. CDF believes relationships matter, that residents will support what they help create and that learning happens everywhere. 

READY Schools

READY Schools designed with parents to provide free, part-time, multicultural early learning programs for 3- and 4-year-olds, preparing them for a successful transition to a Georgia Pre-K program.


Immigrant and refugee families often face barriers in accessing early education opportunities for their children and support for themselves. As a result, children enter Pre-K unprepared compared to their peers, and parents face challenges in accessing the necessary support for their family’s well-being.

Family Hub at Peachtree Creek on Ponce  

 The newest CDF program, Family Hub, a program designed for children aged birth to 6 and their families.

We’re partnering with United Way to host a Learning Spaces program, an early learning initiative. The program uses the Cox Campus curriculum Literacy and Justice for All, including a focal book, and activities that build parent skills.


The program engages caregivers as the child’s first teacher. It helps parents screen their children using the ASQ-3 tool. Our teachers are bilingual and hold CPR and First Aid certifications.


Clarkston Tell Me a Story! Festival

Annual festival, co-sponsored by CDF Action and the City of Clarkston! A family-friendly event with the goal of promoting literacy, sharing early learning and childcare resources and providing a venue for families to meet and engage with one another.
