Exclusive Pilot Project

About the Project:

IMPACT is excited to have our exclusive pilot project underway! This new tool is designed specifically for educators working with children aged 2-6. The Inclusive Early Learning Rating Tool (IELRT) allows our selected providers to self-review inclusive practices providing valuable insights into your current practices along with areas for improvement. This comprehensive tool covers both classroom practices and program-wide policies. In addition, participants receive access to additional supports such as customized consultation, additional STARS-approved professional development opportunities, and monthly Q&A sessions.
While applications are currently closed, join our mailing list to be informed of opportunities to participate in the future!
