Welcome to Fox Innovations

We deliver tailored consulting and dynamic professional development experiences for federal, state and local agencies serving young children and families. Our mission is to cultivate resilient, integrated, and responsive early childhood systems and services.  

Services and Expertise

Strategic Partnership & Capacity Building

Components of transformative early childhood systems include strong family partnerships, inter-connected and coordinated services, strategic finance planning and use of fiscal resources, data-driven priorities, and the presence of a highly-qualified and versatile workforce. 

We help states build systems that bridge policy and practice across agencies and funding streams, recognizing the importance of local context and community priorities.

Services include:

  • Coaching and facilitation for leadership teams, parent/advocacy groups, and inter-agency advisory councils
  • Partnership development with colleges, workforce boards, and community organizations
  • Strategic planning for workforce development, recruitment, and retention
  • Mapping and aligning state initiatives with federal priorities (e.g., Head Start, CCDF, Part C/Part B 619)
  • Facilitating cross-sector collaboration among health, education, and human services
  • Designing governance structures that promote shared accountability and data integration

 

 

Professional Development & Training

Early childhood professional development is more than just training—it's a strategic, systemic investment in the workforce that supports young children and families.  Through webinars, virtual meetings, and on-site workshops, we develop customized professional development for directors, educators, therapists, early intervention & childcare providers that is aligned to national standards and frameworks yet meaningfully connected to local practices and services.

    Topics Include:

    • Developmental screening  and referral pathways
    • Talking with families about developmental questions or concerns
    • Family-centered engagement and partnership building
    • IDEA requirements and regulations
    • Developing and implementing high-quality IFSP/IEP goals and services
    • Recruitment and retention strategies for local leaders
    • Reflective practice, coaching and mentoring for professional growth
    • Cross-sector workforce: Promoting skills and competencies for home visiting
