An independent evaluation by Rosov Consulting shows this investment is changing practice: educators report growing confidence and competence in the classroom, mentorship is emerging as the field's most powerful lever for retention, and 85 percent of participating directors say ElevatEd has contributed to keeping their staff. By investing in the educators and directors who shape children's earliest experiences, ElevatEd is working to expand engagement of Jewish families with young children in Jewish communal life for years to come.
