Ideal Consultants is a service company devoted to providing quality, yet practical technical assistance and professional development opportunities for early childhood program administrators, child care providers, pre-k teachers, and school-age/after school care providers. The company was founded in 2000 by Early Learning Consultant and Trainer Bisa Batten Lewis, in an effort to meet the growing need for more proficient early childhood educators.

 Mission
Early childhood refers to the period from birth to nine years of age. Children grow rapidly during this period and need support and guidance from competent early childhood educators to develop appropriate social, emotional, intellectual, and physical skills. The increasing importance of early childhood education, the desire for parents to obtain the services of highly qualified individuals, and the required knowledge of children entering grade school have all enhanced the need for more quality early childhood education programs (Herr, 2004; Chesla & Matic, 2002). It is the mission of Ideal Consultants to provide early childhood care and education practitioners the necessary knowledge and skill enhancements to appropriately guide tomorrow’s leaders.
