Any Setting. Anywhere. Every Child.

IntendED, formerly Global Early Education, was conceived to launch children on a path to success throughout their academic careers—and their lives. Our educational program has been carefully and intentionally designed to give children an immersive and rich experience, grounded in active, play-based learning. Our professional development model is based on adult learning theory that includes learning new content and combining that learning with coaching to enhance instructional practices.

We are guided by methodologies gleaned from research along with decades of experience teaching children and put into practice at the Martin Trust Partnership in Education for Early Learners, our Lab School. Our vision incorporates aspects of well-established, research-based early childhood programs, and the most respected longitudinal studies on the impacts of high-quality early education on children, and our communities. 

In 2022 we launched Trust Early Learners in Brookline, Massachusetts with IntendED as the educational program model for students, as well as ongoing, impactful professional development for educators and staff.

We hope you’ll take a few moments to learn more about our next-generation approach to learning for young children and adults, and we look forward to helping you implement the IntendED program in your classroom to create confident, competent young learners.

We Wrote the Book on Early Education.

The IntendED Program Book is a comprehensive resource for educators, with over 300 pages of information on intentionally creating rich play-based learning opportunities; designing an integrated student-centered curriculum; creating math- and literacy- rich classrooms; and implementing strategies to promote social/emotional learning and organizational skills in an inclusive classroom community. The Book includes appendices full of assessment templates, research, and more!
