When Acelero Learning set out to deepen family engagement across 14 Head Start centers in Clark County, Nevada, sustaining consistent participation was their greatest challenge.
By partnering with Waterford Upstart, they extended their mission beyond their centers and into the home, equipping caregivers with adaptive learning tools and dedicated coaching support. The unified approach resonated: 81% of enrolled children actively participated, literacy skills reached mastery benchmarks, and caregivers reported a 9.8 out of 10 recommendation score.
With 97% of families saying the program helped prepare their child for kindergarten, Acelero demonstrated that when trust is built, and learning continues at home, engagement follows. This partnership became proof that empowered families are Head Start’s greatest asset.
