As SLI concluded last week, we've gained so much from our time together. A highlight was learning from our keynote speaker, Anaiya McGrue, Health Disabilities Advocate at Acelero Learning Clark County. Anaiya shared her incredible journey from starting as a child in the Acelero program to becoming a dedicated advocate. She spoke about her experiences volunteering at a young age, pursuing education in early childhood, and progressing through various roles at Acelero. Her story of growth, education, and dedication to the community embodies the theme of being and becoming. Thank you, Anaiya, for inspiring us all with your passion and commitment.

About us
We design & deliver inclusive, anti-bias, & rigorous approaches to eliminate gaps between young children’s inherent potential & their achievement in school. Acelero Learning was founded in 2001 by a former Head Start teacher and Children Defense Fund staffer, with a clear mission -- to work with local communities to improve the quality of Head Start programs. In 2005, Acelero Learning began to directly administer Early Head Start and Head Start programs through delegate agencies -- locally managed affiliates with their own local boards of directors that received dedicated support from the Acelero Learning Support Center in New York. Today, Acelero Learning affiliates operate a network of Head Start and other early childhood programs serving nearly 5,000 young children and families across the country. Our affiliates in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Camden, Monmouth and Middlesex Counties in New Jersey, Clark County, Nevada and Racine and Milwaukee counties in Wisconsin have each improved the delivery of early childhood education in their communities -- increasing enrollment, improving teacher salaries and dramatically expanding the number of hours of programming for children and families.

Earlier this week we gathered in Philadelphia for our annual Senior Leadership Institute (SLI) Conference. SLI brings our leaders together for learning, community-building, and re-connection. This year's SLI theme is "Being and Becoming", where our focus was on strengthening our current state of being as individuals, team, and as an organization so that we may become who we aspire to be. Throughout our time together, we dove into professional development sessions focused on leadership skills and behaviors that align with our company's values. #Acelero,Inc. #AceleroLearning #ShineEarlyLearning #SLI24

Summer is the perfect time to spark creativity in our little ones with fun, simple art projects, especially for our Head Start kiddos. From painting to drawing, there are endless ways to encourage imaginative play and creative expression. Ideas like chalk drawing, handprint art, and nature collages can get you started. Every activity is a chance for children to be imaginative, develop fine motor skills, and learn through play. #AceleroLearning #HeadStart #Summer

As spring has come to an end and summer approaches, we're excited to share our process for cultivating our Spring Garden at several of our centers. These enriching, hands-on gardening experiences spark curiosity and growth, and encourage a love for nature, while highlighting the positive impact of family involvement in our gardening activities. #AceleroLearning #outdoors #garden

Today, we honor Juneteenth—a celebration of freedom and a call for justice and equality. Also known as Freedom Day, this day marks the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy on June 19, 1865, and provides a chance to delve into the often overlooked aspects of U.S. history. It's a day to celebrate and deeply appreciate African American history. Together, we can build a future rooted in equality for all. Happy Juneteenth!

This month, at one of our Acelero Learning Centers, the children jumped into a world of creativity and teamwork at the center’s first-ever Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Reconstructed Robot Event. They turned old stuff into cool robots, showing how creative they are. These activities aren't just fun—they also teach little ones about taking care of the planet and coming up with new ideas.

We were thrilled to learn that Senator Cortez Masto visited our Acelero Spring Valley Learning Center in Las Vegas, Nevada this week on May 30. Senator Cortez Masto expressed her continued support for Head Start programs across Nevada. She met with teachers, administrations, and students, and highlighted her work to pass legislation that will deliver critical support to help hire and retain Head Start teachers and staff. Thank you Senator Cortez Masto! Learn more about it on our website: https://hubs.ly/Q02z5XpH0 #AceleroLearning #CommunityImpact
