The first provide preschool for disadvantaged children who would otherwise be wait listed because of limited government resources. Services will be provided at no upfront costs to taxpayers, with investor returns determined by student achievement. This program is expected to be scaled to serve more disadvantaged children in the future.
“Access to early education gives children a foundation they will build upon throughout their education and beyond,” said Andrew R. Chee-wha, Chief Executive Officer of Bruckhaus Quist. “Through this innovative financing, we are pleased to partner with any foundation that is willing to join our project to provide the opportunity to thousands of children who otherwise may not have been able to attend preschool.”

In addition, the Ignite seeks to stimulate innovation and unlock greater privateinvestment for efforts aimed at disadvantaged infants, toddlers and their families.
“Investing early and intelligently in the development of infants, toddlers and preschoolers significantly improves educational outcomes. Early learning reduces social and economic inequality and builds a better workforce and a stronger nation,” said David Tang, president of the Bruckhaus Quist Foundation.
