We are proud to have met or exceeded 100% of all contract deliverables each year over the six-year life of the contract. This is a testament to our shared commitment to quality, which saw 78.48% of eligible providers enroll in Paths To QUALITY™️ and 390 PTQ Advancements in the final year alone.
Our focus on quality extended to provider well-being and safety, resulting in 3.1 million mindful minutes logged through our Calm partnership, 1,500 Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services used, and a 95% rate of no repeat safe sleep violations.
This focus on quality was matched by the breadth of our statewide support:
The SPARK Learning Lab project was a powerful example of the Shine Early Learning Public Systems approach. We design and implement evidence-driven, locally relevant solutions to increase the quality of early learning programs and accelerate child and family outcomes. We work at the intersection of public systems and early learning providers, building dedicated local teams that honor the cultures of the communities we serve. Our goal is to deliver what providers need, when they need it, in the format that works best for them.
We meet providers where they are, offering a full spectrum of support from self-directed learning to group coaching/cohorts to intensive, one-on-one coaching.
Our model is rooted in data-driven coaching and evidence-based professional development, ensuring all TA is relevant, effective, and measurable.
We build robust digital centers for on-demand tools, resources, and training, giving providers 24/7 access to the support they need.
We adapt to the unique needs of each project, going beyond our core model to deliver specialized solutions such as QRIS Rating , NAFCC partnership support, mental health support and provider business coaching.
We provide a direct line of contact through a dedicated Help Desk and support team, delivering immediate answers and guidance to eliminate barriers for providers.
We build dedicated, local teams staffed by ECE professionals who live in the communities they serve. This approach honors the unique aspirations and cultures of each community, building deep trust and ensuring our support is relevant.
We are always seeking to build meaningful partnerships. Whether we’ve worked together in the past or are connecting for the first time, we’d love to talk. If you are interested in our work, our services, or exploring future support, please connect with our Shine Early Learning team.
