Ages 0–5

The first five years are the foundation of everything.

Investments in early childhood education yield the highest returns of any education spending. x10edu partners with traditional public schools, charter schools, private providers, and home-based educators to make those investments strategically—and equitably.

Families are a child's first and most important teachers

We design family engagement systems that go beyond newsletters and events — building true partnerships between caregivers and early learning programs of all types that extend learning into the home.

  • Home visiting program design and quality improvement
  • Family literacy and numeracy initiatives
  • Two-generation program models
  • Trauma-informed family support systems

QRIS, licensing, and program quality that means something

Quality Rating and Improvement Systems are only valuable if they reflect real child outcomes. We help states, districts, private providers, and charter operators build quality frameworks that are rigorous, equitable, and actionable across every delivery setting.

  • QRIS design and continuous improvement
  • Coaching and professional development systems
  • Curriculum implementation and fidelity support
  • Child outcome assessment alignment

How we support early learning — across every setting

01

Pre-K Expansion Planning

Support for districts, charter networks, and private providers building or expanding pre-K programs — from needs assessment and site selection to funding strategy and workforce planning across all school types.

02

Child Care System Building

Helping communities create mixed-delivery early care and education systems that serve all children — through smart public-private design that works across traditional public, charter, private, and home-based settings.

03

Pre-K Partnership Support

Supporting public-private pre-K partnerships made possible by SB 1882, SB 2, OBBBA, and related legislation — including deep expertise in the Texas Education Freedom Account program and mixed-delivery pre-K models across all school types.

04

Early Childhood Workforce Development

The early childhood workforce crisis demands creative solutions. We design career pathways, compensation strategies, and professional development systems that attract and retain quality educators.

05

Special Education in Early Childhood

Supporting the identification and service of young children with disabilities through IDEA Part B and Part C — with a focus on inclusive, high-quality settings.

06

Funding Strategy & Braiding Resources

Early childhood funding is famously fragmented. We help states and programs braid CCDBG, Title I, Head Start, state pre-K, and other streams into coherent, sustainable systems.

Let's build early childhood systems that give every child a strong start — in every setting.
