Kindergarten at Achievement First is all about curiosity, confidence, and joyful learning. At AF Bushwick Elementary, students like Karla thrive in a warm, engaging environment where they build strong foundational skills through play, hands-on activities, and supportive teaching. From literacy lessons that spark a love of reading to moments of discovery that build independence, our classrooms are designed to help young learners grow.

As we wrap up Women’s History Month, we want to extend our gratitude to Dr. Allessandria Polizzi of Verdant Consulting for leading a powerful virtual session, "Whose Pain Am I Carrying?" AF staff gained valuable insights on healing, self-care, and resilience, walking away with tools to recognize, regulate, and reclaim their peace while uplifting the incredible teachers who support our students every day. While Women’s History Month may be ending, we celebrate and honor the women in our schools and communities every day by recognizing their impact and continuing the work toward equity and well-being. A huge thank you to LaNelle Alexander, ACC, IDI-QA, ELI-MP, SHRM-CP, and Justin McNamara for hosting these incredible guest speaker series. #WomensHistoryMonth #culture #EmployeeEngagement #mentalhealthmatters #traumaawareness #educatorwellbeing #EquityInAction #careforthewholeperson (fb)
