Welcome to
The Brooks-Johnson Group

Because “cute” doesn’t cut it. Chaos doesn’t either. And we’re done pretending Pre-K isn’t the most important grade in the building.
If you’re here, you already know what’s at stake:
●Kids are showing up to Kindergarten unprepared.
●Teachers are overwhelmed.
●And PD isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do.
You want real growth. You want confident staff. You want outcomes that stick. Welcome. You are in the right place!

Ready to Shift? Start Here.

Click over to About Us to learn who we are, where we started, and why we care so deeply about getting early childhood right in Title 1 schools, Head Start programs, and PreK teams across the country. We’re not just consultants, we’re educators who’ve been in the classroom, led district teams, and built frameworks from the ground up. We’ve asked the hard questions. Now we’re delivering the answers.
About us

See the Work That Works

Check out our Urban Advantage ECE Framework™ — a game-changing approach built for schools that serve Black and Brown children and refuse to accept low expectations. This framework focuses on:

●Establishing Connection & Well-Being: Building trust and emotional safety first
●Cultivating Optimal Learning Environments: Structured, joyful, and intentional classrooms
●Elevating Intellect: Higher-order thinking and language-rich routines

We don’t just want PreK kids to be “ready.” We want them fully equipped to rise.

What Sets Us Apart>>>

Most PD is surface-level. Ours is strategic, custom, and built to last.

Most coaching is compliance-driven. Ours is empowering, reflective, and real.

Most frameworks are generic. Ours is rooted in equity and designed for Title 1 realities.

How We Do the Work

We don’t show up with a one-size-fits-all plan. We listen, observe, collaborate, and build strategy that fits your program, your people, and your goals.

Our work is guided by five key strengths:
●Relator: We build authentic relationships that empower growth.
●Believer: We lead with purpose, passion, and unwavering commitment to equity.
●Strategic: We cut through the noise and focus on what truly works.
●Futuristic: We plan for lasting success, not quick fixes.
●Significance: We aim for meaningful, measurable impact—every time.
This is how we move programs from surviving to thriving—with clarity, care, and high expectations.
