Reporting & Evaluation Managers

We are a pioneering provider of early childhood education and family engagement services, driven by a mission to close the achievement gap for thousands of Head Start children and families across the country. Since our founding in 2001, we have been committed to designing and delivering rigorous, inclusive, and anti-bias approaches that unlock the inherent potential within every child, setting them on a path to success in school and in life. Our work is grounded in the belief that every child, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status, deserves the opportunity to be prepared for school. We partner with families and communities to create a supportive and enriching learning environment where children can thrive. Our evidence-based approach has demonstrated significant positive outcomes, with students in our programs achieving gains nearly double the national average on key assessments.

Our network of Head Start centers, spanning several states, serves over 5,000 children and their families annually. We are more than just an education provider; we are a community of passionate educators, dedicated staff, and engaged families working together towards a common goal. We see the potential in every individual and recognize that our possibilities are limitless when we collaborate to realize our mission. We foster authentic, trusting, and caring relationships, grounded in open and transparent communication, because we know that's the only way to truly improve our services for children and families. Through our sister organization, Shine Early Learning, we extend our impact by supporting other Head Start programs nationwide, sharing our innovative data-driven tools and best practices. We are constantly innovating, drawing on leading research and data to enhance our curriculum and teaching methods, ensuring that we provide joyful, stimulating, and valuable learning experiences where every child feels seen, valued, and empowered to become a champion of their own making.
