Bringing Communities Together.

We partner with families, schools, and communities to build a shared mission for literacy that starts before school and lasts a lifetime. By closing literacy gaps early, we help tackle major challenges like poverty, inequality, and crime—creating brighter futures and making learning a joyful journey for all!

What Makes Us Different?
Real Impact, Real Results!

Language and Early Literacy Development Before Starting School

The way children engage with literacy—through games, books, or caring adults—shapes their language and reading skills. Our bilingual digital resources strengthen parent-child bonds, build vocabulary, support speech, and spark curiosity, all while inspiring a lifelong love of learning. It’s more than literacy—it’s a foundation for a bright, curious future!

100% Bilingual Content That Speaks to Every Learner

With thousands of interactive eBooks, songs, and games in English and Spanish, Footsteps2Brilliance goes beyond translation—our trans-adapted content reflects cultural nuances, making learning meaningful for all. This dual-language approach supports bilingual development, fosters inclusivity, and empowers students to learn in their preferred language while building skills that bridge both worlds.

Learning Anytime, Anywhere

Our platform works on any device—smartphone, tablet, or computer—and even without the internet, so kids can learn anytime, anywhere. But we don’t stop there! We create a geofence around your community, giving every child, no matter where they live or learn, access to our platform through an equity grant. It’s our way of making sure no barriers stand in the way of learning—just endless opportunities for every child to grow, thrive, and succeed.

Guaranteed Real Results, Real Impact

In just 45 minutes a week, students can triple their literacy scores! Our evidence-based program aligns with core standards and the Science of Reading to close achievement gaps and boost readiness. With deliberate practice tailored to classroom instruction, we accelerate growth, improve retention, and build the confidence kids need for lifelong success. Independent studies prove it works, and we’re here to help every student thrive!

“And the most memorable thing came from one of our preschool teachers who said, ‘every year I despaired because the students were coming in with lower and lower skills, and honestly, I was preparing to retire. I can’t believe how much they can learn. And so I’m not retiring’, and I’m happy to say she’s still with us. She is still with us because she was so motivated by what preschool kids can learn.”
