Our Mission
Early Intel’s mission is to improve outcomes for young children and families, by supporting program leaders with data and professional development. We accomplish this through a three part strategy:
- Organize the metrics and analytics that enable programs to understand their quality opportunities;
- Provide training and support for programs to implement continuous quality improvement; and
- Facilitate and staff a learning community of program leaders to identify bright spots and advance the practice of CQI.
Programs collect a wealth of data. Early Intel provides the analytics, processes and support to mine this treasure and to act on it to improve the lives of children and families.
