Building our city’s future from the start.
A child’s foundations in life and learning are essential to lifelong success. First 8 Memphis was founded to build an early care and education system that will allow every child in Shelby County to have a successful first 8 years as a strong base for lifetime success.
Help make a difference in the lives of children and families in Memphis!
We are thrilled to share that First 8 Memphis was named one of the Best Places to Work 2025 in Memphis by the Memphis Business Journal.
This honor reflects the commitment, passion, and talent of our team, as well as the supportive network of partners, educators, and families who make our mission possible. We’re beaming with pride and fueled with more passion to continue the work!
We’re starting at 3! Our Pre-K for All program gives access to FREE, public Pre-K for ALL 3 and 4-year-old children in Memphis and Shelby County to prepare ALL children for lifelong success!
