Ripple, LLC Founded to Improve Early Childhood Education

Early Childhood Specialist Plans to Start a Ripple Effect for Education Reform

 

CHARLESTON, SC – August 7, 2008 – With a clear vision for education, Ripple (RippleEffect.us) is launching today with the mission to support preschool and childcare administrators, faculty and parents of young children in their endeavors to advance the quality of early education. Early childhood specialist Jessica Shields Flowers founded Ripple to improve the opportunities children have to learn, develop and flourish in a safe and healthy learning environment guided by a strong team of educators.

 

Flowers has a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education and three decades of experience supporting strategic growth and positive change within early childhood education facilities. Her work has been widely recognized and cited in national book publications.

 

“Early childhood experiences affect the brain’s development and lay the foundation for intelligence, emotional health and morale development,” said Jessica Shields Flowers, Early Childhood Specialist and Founder of Ripple. “Through Ripple, my goal is to provide early childhood organizations and parents with the tools and guidance they need to be successful educators and leaders for the children they serve.”

 

Ripple will work with the management of preschools and daycares to develop goals, strategies and tactics that align with the facility’s needs and aspirations. Ripple also identifies areas for improvement as well as solutions to internal concerns that may include yearly budget, fundraising, staff training, school messaging, ethics, cultural diversity and parent orientation. To support parents, Ripple will offer parenting workshops and child development courses tailored to the community to inform, support, guide, and strengthen families.

 

“As the ancient African proverb goes, ‘it takes a village to raise a child,’ and through Ripple, we hope to create positive change within the community and ultimately elevate the level of education available to all children,” said Flowers.
