We work in service to children and the adults around them respecting the developmental needs of children and their families, practical needs of the workforce, and the financial realities that necessitate scaling.
What Drives Us
A key tenent that drives us is early childhood systems building is complex and the need to invest is urgent. We have a long road to a system that delivers so all children have the opportunity to maximize the gifts they have the potential to bring to those around them.
How We Partner
A client’s mission is where we start, and we work in partnership with you, iterating to map your assets to your long-term goals. This tool is used with clients to identify milestones toward a long-term goal and commit to one or more of those milestones in the short-term. Understanding existing assets guide us in identifying where clients want to invest, where they want to partner, and what they don’t want to do. We strive to support clients in gaining clarity in sharpening their skills so that they can maximize their systems building capacity.
We are realists. We clearly define costs, effort, and skills needed for you to be successful and we support you in recruiting, focusing on skills and adding to your team’s culture within a term-limited contract structure. We are committed to each partner, knowing that partnerships will get us to our shared goal, making for a better, thriving society. We are realists.
