What are Indiana early education and care programs saying about SPARK Cohorts?
Nicole Pirele, Director of St. Jude Early Learning Ministry says, "SPARK learning lab has made a major impact at the St. Jude Early Learning Ministry. The cohorts have given me guidance to steer the ELM in the right direction to becoming an extraordinary facility. Having this opportunity to collect thoughts from a person a few times a month has opened up my thought process on how to run our program. The creative ideas I have received during the cohorts have made an impact on the teachers and students. I believe SPARKS Learning Lab and the cohorts are very beneficial and thank you for the chance to take part in this process."
