Jennifer Park founded Early Childhood Solutions in 2006. It wasn’t until 2021 that she decided to dedicate more time and attention to it, allowing her to focus even more on her passion for community, equity, and the early childhood system. Her journey to discovering her professional calling has been shaped by diverse roles, including teaching toddlers, operating programs, and managing large state and national quality improvement portfolios. These varied experiences equip her with the insight and innovative ideas necessary to support others in their key roles, holding up and strengthening our early childhood system.

She is a helper, builder, and problem solver.

When Jennifer isn’t working, she’s engaged in various mission aligned volunteer activities, doing 1000 piece puzzles, and sinking her hands in her urban garden or just soaking in the beauty of nature. She lives in Washington, DC with her husband, Marcus, and her daughter’s perfect cat, Pluto. And she travels to Chicago to spend time with her son and to Miami to spend time with her daughter every chance she gets.

Connect with her if you’d like to join in making lives better for children and families, or if you’d like a gently used puzzle (she really will send you one).


Mari Davis is an experienced leader with a deep passion for empowering others. She began her journey in education as a middle school science teacher, where she also coached softball, leading her team to three city championships. She transitioned to the nonprofit sector to focus on education programming, curriculum development, and mentoring girls. She eventually took on a Director of Education role overseeing early childhood and school-aged programs that served over 20,000 participants annually. Along the way, she earned a master’s degree in counseling and worked closely with children with ADHD. After over 20 years of experience managing projects, developing programs, and leading teams, Mari joined Early Childhood Solutions to collaborate with Jennifer to help shape the company’s long-term vision.

She is an observer, listener, and problem solver.

Outside of her professional endeavors, Mari enjoys swimming, cycling, and baking. She is married and a proud parent of three adult children, actively supporting their extracurricular activities. Her life is further enriched by her two young grandchildren, who bring her endless joy and happiness.

Connect with her if you’d like to join in making lives better for children and families, or need some tips on your technique in sports or on your coaching strategy.
