About us
We envision a world where children become champions of their own making; where nothing stands in the way of their infinite promise. 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, Aiken and Barnwell Counties in South Carolina 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.

Meet Islam Ramadan, Policy Committee Member and parent at Acelero Learning Wisconsin. 💫 She shares how the program made a meaningful difference in her child’s social development and overall growth. Being part of the Policy Committee also gave her a deeper understanding of the impact Acelero Learning has on families and communities. For her, it’s more than early learning.

Meet Andrea Greggs, Center Director at Acelero Learning South Carolina. 💫 As a former Head Start student and a parent, her connection to this work is deeply personal.
