Clean Air Dynamics LLC specializes in medical-grade indoor air disinfection equipment that does not have the ongoing costs of filters, bulbs, or other disposables, minimizing its impact on the environment. The team at Clean Air Dynamics is a trusted partner to Head Start West and includes medical and respiratory professionals. Led by Raleigh Guice, they have a long-standing history of supporting Head Start and Community Action Programs across the country.

The company offers an “In-Kind Match Program” that has benefited Head Start and Community Action Programs. The Protect 900 from WellAir is the most popular air disinfection product in the education space, covering up to 1,000 square feet and boasting an industry-leading 7-year manufacturer’s warranty. This product instantaneously destroys airborne pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and VOCs, with NanoStrike Technology™ and has been 3rd-party tested since 2008.

For indoor spaces up to 2,500 square feet and for rapid remediation, the FDA-cleared Defend series products are ideal. They leverage NanoStrike Technology™ and include triple-stage filtration with an H13 HEPA filter, making them extremely effective against wildfire smoke.

“Having worked closely with Raleigh when he was the Vice President of Sales at WellAir and now as the President of Clean Air Dynamics, I am excited about the value he and his team bring to us. I know he only provides the most effective options for us and helps us maximize our dollars. We trust his guidance and support on product offerings,” says Edward Condon, Executive Director at HSW.

Crayon Collection is a partnership with restaurants, hotels, and community-based groups that distribute free crayons to children when they dine. We collect millions of gently used crayons and redistribute them to the most vulnerable classrooms through our partnership with NHSA and USA.com.

The Crayon Collection Arts in Education program ensures that art activities and instructional resources, specifically designed for these gently used crayons, support art education in the classrooms that need it most. The Arts in Education program includes two key initiatives: the Artist Inspired Education Series and Artist Rotation Program. Through our Artist Inspired Education Series, Crayon Collection partners with volunteer artists who develop age- and culturally appropriate art education activities that can be used by teachers in grades Pre-K through sixth to bring art education into their classrooms.

HSW collaborates with Crayon Collections to connect grantees to donation opportunities, art education, and advocacy.

Early Intel helps Head Start programs connect their data with intuitive, user friendly dashboards and provides training resources and support to implement continuous quality improvement.

Early Intel’s Q.I. Network includes:

• Data Analytics – Early Intel’s data warehouse solves a major headache for early childhood programs by connecting traditionally siloed data sets: child assessments, CLASS scores, attendance and parent outcomes. Interactive dashboards enable program staff to easily sort critical relationships, recognize patterns and focus attention.
• Benchmarking – Using common metrics, Head Start programs are able to compare their performance, highlighting key quality determinants (e.g. chronic absence, parent engagement, etc.). Benchmarks enable programs to identify both bright spots and opportunities for improvement.
• Training and Coaching – A range of resources on data use and the tools and practices that support continuous quality improvement. Coaching supports in-depth projects tailored to local needs.
• Learning Community – The Q.I. Network is organized as a series of regional cohorts and content area groups. The cohorts meet online and in person to work with their dashboards, learn the tools and practices that support quality improvement, identify best practices and compare implementation of their improvement projects.
