WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Hatch Early Learning, a distinguished leader
in early childhood education, has partnered with the Boys &
Girls Clubs of the Coastal Bend (BGCCB) to establish an
innovative learning center for young learners. This partnership
aims to address the growing need for high-quality early education
and childcare services. BGCCB is dedicated to closing learning gaps
by providing playful learning experiences that deliver actionable
data to educators, which is especially crucial in overcoming
challenges exacerbated by the pandemic.
Recent studies have highlighted the academic struggles faced by
students who did not have access to PreK or Kindergarten programs
prior to the pandemic. As educators strive to bridge these learning
gaps, partnerships like the one between Hatch Early Learning and
BGCCB play a crucial role in ensuring that all children have access
to engaging and enriching educational experiences. Hatch Early
Learning brings solutions that strongly reinforce homeschool
partnerships, fully embodying the Boys and Girls Club mission.
"We are committed to ensuring that every child shows up to
school ready to learn," said Sam
Bonfante, President of HatchEarly Learning. "Our
collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Bend
allows us to help close the gaps in school readiness and
performance for kids who weren't even in school at the time of the
pandemic, expand our reach, and provide comprehensive support to
early learners."
This new center will expand the traditional support provided by
offering child care and an enhanced learning experience with
state-of-the-art education technology from Hatch. The Hatch
solutions featured in the center include IgnitePanel, an
interactive touchscreen display designed specifically for young
learners paired with innovative, device-agnostic software, and an
IgniteTable to help students build communication and critical
thinking skills through collaboration play.
Teachers will have access to thousands of standards-aligned
activities on all devices so that they can seamlessly create and
deliver fun, engaging small-group and whole-class instruction.
Plus, they can accelerate literacy development by using Key
Foundations, a collection of print-based literacy resources
provided through Hatch's partnership with Code-Ed.
The collaborative approach fosters playful learning experiences
enriched by actionable data insights, ensuring every child receives
the support they need to thrive and close learning gaps. In
addition to academic support, the center will offer childcare
services tailored to meet the diverse needs of working families. By
integrating cutting-edge technology and traditional services, the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Bend and Hatch are establishing a
vibrant hub where families receive essential support and students
are empowered to explore, learn, and grow every day.
"We are thrilled to embark on this new adventure in early
childhood education," said Kim
Barrientos, President & CEO of BGCCB. "By partnering
with Hatch Early Learning, we can ensure that children in the
Coastal Bend community have access to the resources and support
they need to thrive."

with Hatch is available here.
