Zeno's MathWays Model
Zeno values flexibility and we look forward to working with you to develop a partnership that meets the needs of your organization and community. Our partnership contracts and offerings are based in our standard MathWays model, which includes:
Zeno's Cost Sharing
While Zeno receives generous funding support from individual and institutional funders, we ask partners to contribute to the cost of the program so we can reach as many families and communities as possible as a small organization. Zeno offers our standard MathWays package outlined above at the all-inclusive rate of $50/child participating in your program. This cost share represents 20% of the full cost of running the program for Zeno ($250/child).
In addition to this $50/child rate for our standard MathWays model, we offer each component of the program separately to provide flexibility for your organization to fit Zeno’s trainings, events, and resources into your programming in the way that works best for your community.

At Zeno we believe that what books in the home do for literature, games in the home will do for math! As a partner you are the key messenger for how to use games to facilitate joyful math moments at home and you can use the games in your setting to ensure children and families feel confident and competent in the math and play of each game set. Below are resources that tie our games to the early math standards, suggestions on playing the games in small groups, activities related to game math concepts for use in the classroom and home visit environments, as well as a book companion. This is the starting point to integrating math into your existing services!
