Generation one exists to create life-changing spiritual renewal for famliies and communities - accomplished through faith based, loving staff focused on building trust and creating hope. We serve not because it is a job, but because it is a calling.
Our secondary objective is to be a researched-based, datat-proven program that sets our youngest learners up for success - Houston's "living laboratory" for early childhood education, supported by a holistic therapeutic approach grounded in our Christian values.
Mission-minded. Performance-driven. Christ-centered.

With more than 19 years of operation, Generation One has impacted the residents of the Third Ward and Sunnyside communities by conducting revitalization projects and sponsoring events to create awareness of need while developing vision among residents of a transformed, hopeful, and productive community.
In 2013, Generation One created a school with year round classes, an after-school and summer program, and parent and guardian training to equip children and their families with the skills necessary to be personally productive and sustain community transformation.
After an evaluation of the first three years of operation and extensive review of early intervention programs, Generation One Academy staff now focuses on the Social-Emotional learning (SEL) of young children and their families. By experience and research, SEL is shown to be critical to children’s current and future success—academically and behaviorally. Additionally, teachers implement a trauma-informed approach to teaching, in a trauma-informed environment.
