Acelero Inc., doing business as Acelero Learning, received a $20.16 million Project Grant from the Office of Head Start (Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The award, effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031, funds comprehensive early childhood education and family support services in New York designed to promote school readiness among low-income children and families.

The five-year project period includes performance measurement against federal standards related to school readiness, health and family well-being metrics, and compliance with applicable federal requirements, with potential eligibility for non-competing continuation funding based on satisfactory progress and compliance with award terms and conditions.
