Our early childhood technology experts assist agencies with managing their data across programs more efficiently and effectively. We provide self-service tools for families and providers and implement systems to improve program integrity and optimize funding sources.
Early childhood technology is as expansive and multifaceted of a domain as the field of early childhood itself. Today, nearly every early childhood service agency relies on technology to support families receiving needed and appropriate services, including managing assessments, services, and payments. The potential to better support families and to understand what is working means integrating data sets across programs and agencies and applying data analytics.
Technology decisions can be complicated, as there is a need for agencies to invest in mobility and self-service systems while many product and cloud technology options are available. Our consultants are ready to support you during the process.
