Mission Statement
Zeno's mission is to spark joy and inspire a love of math in young children and families through racial equity, family engagement, and play, all centered in the experiences of communities of color. Zeno envisions a racially just world where every child and family is a doer and lover of math.
About This Cause
Every child deserves to be great at math. It is the foundation for a lifetime of learning. But not all kids have access to the same opportunities to develop competence and confidence in math early in life. Founded as Explorations in Math in 2003, Zeno brings 20 years of experience creating and hosting joyful math events and programs for young learners (3-5 y/o) and their families through play. Our model creates conditions for preschoolers, their families, and the educators that work with them to leverage their innate mathematical ability to develop math identities reflective of their racial, linguistic, place-based, and cultural backgrounds. Working through community partnerships we bring play, family engagement events, professional development, and Zeno family math games and resources to early learners and their families. Zeno may very well be the only organization in America working for racial justice in the development of math skills Zeno is about the infinite possibilities that arise from an individual’s relationship with math. The name ‘Zeno’ honors Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea – one of the first people to talk about the concept of infinity. We start with racial equity and justice in educational opportunities as our mission. With so many aspects to achieving racial equity, we chose early math learning to create the opportunity to provide accessible resources and positive math experiences to children of color approaching kindergarten as early education sets the tone for the rest of their educational life.
