Who We Serve 

From the company's origins, to our mission, to the way we do business, FirstDay Learning is all about people. They're why we love what we do and why our clients love working with us.

Why Now

Decades in the field, countless focus groups, and thousands of classroom observations have shown us that teachers are desperate for speedy solutions to their biggest cause of stress: challenging behaviors in the classrooms.

Teachers are hurting. Stress, burnout, and frustration are leading to higher staff turnover than ever before.

Behavior problems are teachers' top concern. Teachers report that managing classroom behavior is their biggest daily challenge.

Inclusion is a critical challenge. Inclusion benefits everyone, but teachers feel unprepared to support exceptional learners.

Everyone is overwhelmed. From paras to directors, everyone is operating at maximum capacity, and then some.

Why FirstDay Learning 

FirstDay Learning's science-based programs help everyone impacted by problematic behaviors build more responsive classrooms from day one.
