Capacity First™ Partnerships

 Educore Prep partners with early learning programs, higher education institutions, evaluators, and ecosystem leaders to bring developmental science to life in birth–5 settings—through structured practice change, capacity-aligned environments, and adult ecosystem alignment. 

Educore Prep partnerships are designed to support:

 

  • real-world adoption of capacity-first practice in birth–5 settings
     
  • documentation and learning that strengthens evidence over time
     
  • system alignment across educators, administrators, and families
     
  • future preparation and accreditation precision grounded in measurable practice

Who we partner with

 

  • early childhood centers and program networks
     
  • higher education programs and preparation providers
     
  • developmental science researchers and evaluation partners
     
  • philanthropic partners advancing early childhood systems change
     
  • education innovation leaders and investors focused on durable infrastructure

Partnership pathways

Educore Prep offers four pathways for partnership. Each pathway supports Capacity First™ adoption while protecting integrity, ethics, and feasibility.

Pilot Site Partnerships

For early learning centers, programs and networks ready to implement Capacity First™

 Pilot sites partner with Educore Prep to bring capacity-first practice into real routines—strengthening regulation, engagement, language, and agency through classroom infrastructure. 

What Educore Prep provides

 

  • structured Capacity First™ implementation support
     
  • educator practice model and capacity-aligned routines
     
  • environment design guidance to reduce friction and support engagement
     
  • leadership rhythms that sustain educator growth and reduce burnout risk
     
  • family alignment tools to strengthen continuity across home and school

WHAT WE ASK FROM PILOT PARTNERS

  • consistent participation and site-level alignment
     
  • a willingness to document practice shifts (adult-focused, non-punitive)
     
  • leadership commitment to sustainability and staff protection

Higher Education & Accreditation Alignment

For teacher preparation programs, training providers, and accreditation-aligned partners

Educore Prep partners with higher education and accreditation-aligned stakeholders to bring Capacity First™ into preparation pathways—so early educators are trained in the foundational competencies that make later outcomes achievable. 

What Educore Prep includes

  

  • a Capacity First™ framework defining core birth–5 educator competencies
     
  • practice models educators can apply in real routines (not theory-only training)
     
  • cohort-based or clinical-site learning structures that support practice development
     
  • documentation tools that support measurable learning and practice change
     
  • alignment support across preparation, practice, and program expectations

What partnership may look like

 

  • co-designing preparation-aligned competencies and modules
     
  • strengthening clinical experiences with capacity-first observation lenses
     
  • building measurable practice-based learning pathways for pre-service educators
     
  • developing long-term proof for competency and accreditation alignment

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@educoreprep.com

if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Educore Prep includes curriculum-aligned tools and resources, but it is not a traditional “curriculum purchase and implementation” model. Capacity First™ provides the infrastructure that makes curriculum effective—adult practice support, environment design, and leadership + family alignment—so children build regulation, language, attention, and problem-solving through everyday routines. 


 No. Educore Prep does not collect child-identifying information. Documentation focuses on adult practice and classroom conditions and follows site permissions, consent requirements, and privacy safeguards. 


Educore Prep supports partners in strengthening birth–5 educator preparation by clarifying Capacity First™ competencies and supporting practice-based training models that connect developmental science to real-world classroom practice.


Partnership success requires program leadership buy-in, educator participation, and a willingness to align routines and expectations around child development. Educore Prep provides the structure; partners provide consistency and commitment. 


 Yes. Educore Prep can partner with single programs, multi-site organizations, and networks seeking consistent birth–5 implementation. Multi-site partnerships may include leadership infrastructure support to sustain adoption across settings.


Capacity First™ partnerships aim to strengthen regulation-first practice, reduce classroom friction, increase child engagement, improve adult clarity and consistency, and support leadership systems that protect educator capacity and reduce burnout risk.
