Data should be a resource, not a headache.

Early Intel insights and coaching enable stronger compliance, efficiency, and outcomes.

Leveraging A.I. – New Resources!

A.I. tools can be a time-saving partner: streamlining documentation, strengthening communication, understanding program data, and improvement. Early Intel produces custom reports using A.I. tools, and also provides training and coaching to implement A.I. practices.

Whether we produce the analysis on your behalf or you do it yourself, A.I. is a resource for accelerating insight and lightening your team’s load. Our team identifies the source data and walks you through the insights. Our upcoming series for management teams shows how to use A.I. for every content area. Whichever service you select, a data coach works with your team to help master the insights and apply them to your program’s unique needs.

Data Practices Review

Program data can be an enormous resource, creating efficiencies and helping managers to prioritize important issues. But how do you know if your team’s practices are really effective?

In our Data Practices Review, expert advisers conduct diagnostic interviews to help assess the effectiveness, quality, and compliance of data practices across service areas. We deliver a report identifying gaps and actionable, prioritized steps for improvement. This review is an affordable way to get a third party perspective on your information systems, and to identify strategies for strengthening your management.

Management Consulting

Whether you are seeking to correct a deficiency, build better data practices, or drive continuous improvement, an expert advisor can help clarify the issues and accelerate your success. Early Intel’s coaches and advisors bring decades of experience running ECE programs, overseeing hundreds of federal reviews, and helping program leaders design effective solutions. The challenge of ECE managers is to digest all of the data coming at them, to make sense of it, and to advance their program’s work. It requires good systems and professional growth. Our consultants help with your systems and with the professional growth that enables success.

Professional Learning Community

Data tools are a good first step, but your team also needs guides to incorporate these resources into their regular work process. We bring friendly experts to a community of supportive program leaders. It’s what OHS refers to as “moving from a culture of compliance to one of “data, improvement and outcomes.”

The Q.I. Network supports early childhood leaders on the improvement journey. Together, directors and managers share their data insights, their improvement work and they collaborate on solutions. The Network is composed of high performing programs across the country that are leading the way for innovation in early childhood.

Federal Review Prep

Is your team ready for your next federal review? The Head Start Performance Standards increased expectations in 2016 (see 1302.102(c)) reviewers now ask programs to identify their strategies for continuous quality improvement and to identify their promising practices.

While this can be challenging, it’s also a moment to develop leaders by leveraging data to strengthen services. Early Intel trainers and coaches love working with program directors and managers to meet this higher standard.
