WHERE WE ARE TODAY
Our personalized learning videos were developed and created to meet the needs of parents struggling with the constant demand of attention and engagement gifted infants require. They are unique as they incorporate the voices of parents along with personal family photos into the learning content, making our videos engaging and captivating- as if parents are there teaching their babies themselves.
Our videos also include personalized content such as child's name and birthday, in conjunction with captivating learning content that introduces them to the world around them. Every scene is filled with fun vibrant colors and animation. Also, because the experts say that infants are drawn to high contrast pictures and objects we have incorporated that too. Not only does our content include the basics (shapes, colors, alphabet, and numbers), but it also includes more extensive content such as; environment, quantities, letter sounds, skip counting, phonics, and much more. The Upperclassmen option even enables parents to custom select the content for their video. From beginning to end our videos were created with the needs of early learners in mind.
OUR HISTORY

From "U" University is as an extension of Youth Financial Services NFP, incorporated in 2007. Youth Financial Services NFP was created to address the socio-economic need for the provision of financial literacy to underrepresented and disadvantaged youth ages 15-24 years old. Over the years Youth Financial Services NFP has provided financial literacy presentations and workshops to over 500 inner-city youth of Chicago. With the desire to grow, evolve, and have broader long-term socio-economic impact, Youth Financial Service NFP formed From "U" University. From "U" University then took on the task of addressing the lack of resources, tools, and support for advanced early learning and gifted education in underrepresented demographic areas.
