    Early education is critical to children's success -- but millions of kids in the United States still don't have access to programs that prepare them to thrive in kindergarten and beyond. Enter the UPSTART Project, a plan to bring early learning into the homes of children in underserved communities, at no cost to families. Education innovator Claudia Miner shares how UPSTART is setting four-year-olds up for success with 15 minutes of learning a day -- and how you can help. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

    This is awesome! My child is participating right now! We started her this summer. She has been in pre school since last year and is in 4yo this year. This program is amazing, my daughter is pre reading and writing. She is learning math and science too! Only 20-30 mins a day 5x’s a week!

      That's the way. A great focus on philosophy and the underlying theories of education would be so beneficial. Maybe A) kids would actually appreciate school and B) school would be a more beneficial experience.
      I think the two of those really go hand in hand.

      We have a severe critical thinking crisis in America right now. This would honestly help a ton. It'd teach kids how to recognize fallacious arguments and reasoning. It'd teach kids how to recognize their cognitive biases and help everyone understand and recognize other positions. Right now we live in a very polarized world and society where we only stick to information that agrees with our world view; however, no thought it gone into thinking if that world view is even right. Any facts and evidence -- science, in general -- just bounces off and gets completely ignored.
      [edit: fixed the sentence about polarized world/society.]

    The problem with having a historian running the future of education is it isn't bringing in new ideas. This sounds like a new version of "teaching for the test" with bright colors and 20 year old graphics. Engagement with kids would be way more impactful for a generation that has a iPad before they are out of diapers

If you can't make use of algebra, geometry, calculus, PE and exercises, history, art, music, English, chemistry. physics, biology, etc, then that's not on the education system -- that's on you.

    Music is an essential tool in early childhood education! Children are aural learners and science shows we are all prepared for music fro. Prebirth.
    We still underutilise music. If we make it the core, just think about your ABCS, the sky is the limit!
    Music and language are also inextricably linked. There is no other activity that compares. Early childhood educators should be trained music and movement education and sensitised to foreign languages so they could be more effective at delivering and manipulating the curriculum for children to learn even faster!
    Children should always be taught to listen/auditory discrimination long before they learn to make visual associations.

    sounds like an advertisement. The cost says it all, 2k for the program is wayyy too much. a capable computer can cost 200-300$ nowadays, then what? You supposedly earned 60k*2k = 120m but I assume most of those kids got it for free, but still you see this program should cost pennies but the catch is, it doesn't, that's because you goal is not to educate and there is a conflict of interest there

      At least thats my opinion speaking from germany. Learning english, motor skills, a little bit of maths and social behaviour such as how to treat another person is especially important in such a young age.
      I think the way shown in the video is a great way to achieve that.

My mother crying loudly and after seeing for some time, my brother started crying louder than my mom, when suddenly two electricians came out to unplug electricity in our house because they did not pay. Then the younger brother was beaten again by Father.
