A strong believer in early childhood development,  Mr. Mitchell has always strongly advocated for early  childhood development and a solid academic  foundation. To-date, he has personally taught hundreds of  Chicagoland children how to read. And now with the  implementation of “Mr. Shawn’s Preschool” his online  presence on You Tube has attracted thousands more.

Mr. Mitchell has often been quoted saying, “Yes there  are problems in the world but I have always been more  interested in solutions. I understand how to build strong  minds, strong households, strong neighborhoods, and  strong communities. I believe in partnering with leaders  who are more interested in doing the work rather than  talking about the work that needs to be done.” 

The Mitchell’s desire is to assist others to be great. They  are grateful to have pioneered an educational system  of change. The Mitchells Imagine mentoring program helped children maintain an average GPA of 3.5 and  a positive attitude during the pandemic.
