Our clients include city and state governments, State Preschool (Pre-K), Head Start, Early Head Start, Child Care Partnerships, and Community Action Programs. We also serve publicly funded initiatives, and non-profit organizations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Early Childhood Education
Child and family outcomes, assessments, data management and reporting in a single solution.
COPA is the top data management software for early childhood education initiatives. We serve agencies offering programs like Head Start, Early Head Start, Migrant & Seasonal Head Start, as well as providers of Private Child Care, State Pre-K and locally designed programs. Our tools help agencies track multiple programs and funding sources.
For example, clients use COPA to manage enrollment and attendance, monitor assessments, and generate automated reports. For Head Start and Early Head Start programs, COPA automatically calculates unduplicated results for the PIR.
Community Action Programs
Track and report outcomes for multiple funded programs with one software solution.
With COPA you’ll be able to capture, manage and analyze data for any number of community programs. For example, agencies offering Weatherization, LIHEAP, Food and Housing Assistance, and Employment Assistance, services can manage data for all their programs in one database.
In addition, more than 200 built-in reports are available in COPA. These include custom designed SMART reports and automatic data mapping for CSBG reporting. This means you’ll always know whether you’re in compliance with grant requirements.
State Preschool (Pre-K)
Connect data and monitor program outcomes across state preschools.
COPA offers a number of ways to manage data for State Preschool and Universal Pre-K providers. In addition to connecting data, COPA delivers powerful tools to manage enrollment, attendance, meal service, fees, and much more.
