Apados LLC is a multi-service organization that provides a variety of educational programs to assist and support students, families, organizations and the community at large. The mission of Apados LLC is to help students and their families successfully pursue and attain their educational objectives. In carrying out this mission, everyone and every agency that touches the life of a student we support will benefit from the assistance we provide to that student. Apados LLC offers a wide variety of services including educational outreach, program design, IT training, organizational professional development for community-based organizations and advocacy for target populations such as truant, special needs and youth offenders.

Apados LLC is a balanced blend of education, business, and community. We are a small company with a breadth of experience and access to a diverse workgroup of skilled individuals in the public and private sector. For the past six years Apados LLC has been serving students and families within various districts in the State of Connecticut and Vermont. As a part of its delivery strategy for educational programs, Apados LLC uses scientifically based curricula that allow for clearly defined outcomes which meet the rigor of National Standards for math and literacy. Because Apados LLC recognizes the importance of effective, continuous communication in order to support and maintain the academic health of students, program goals and expectations are discussed in detail with parents/guardians, teachers, and any social service organization that may be involved in the student’s life.

Much of the tutorial work done by Apados is provided in-home. The most significant advantage to this is that we are able to help parents participate more effectively in their child’s education. Apados LLC staff is also able to provide first hand progress reports to parents/guardians. And when requested or needed Apados LLC staff will work with other agencies to provide a complete wrap-around service that effectively incorporates education.

Milestones

From 2004 -2007 Apados LLC successfully managed a Supplemental Educational Services Program (SESP) for six districts with contracts totaling close to $800,000 and a staff of 45 people serving almost 300 children and their families throughout the state of CT. Currently Apados is active in Vermont. The SESP activity required a high level of organization, ongoing staff management particularly with regard to recruitment, selection, training and continuous support. Staff had to be capable of addressing students with varying educational needs.

Apados LLC has also contracted with the Capital Workforce Development Board for a Summer Youth Employment Tier I Program. This was a career based, educational program for 107 students at Weaver High School. The summer program was considered highly successful, showing an 80% completion rate.

Presently we are a Department of Children and Families vendor providing advocacy and tutoring to students in the Hartford area. Apados LLC works with parents to develop an education plan for their children, provide in-home tutoring or one-to-one tutoring at the school and advocate for students when parents are not involved. We work with the student, parent, DCF, Principal, school social worker, teacher and Family Resource aide.

In 2008, Apados LLC was awarded a contract to work with the Milner Family Resource Aide Parent Involvement Group to train 5 to 6 parents on how to recruit and train parents to mentor other Milner parents around issues such as the importance of caring about the education plan in their district, and Hartford Public Schools’ policies and procedures. The Milner School vision, its mission and theme are some of the topics that we covered in the training.


Apados LLC has invested almost $60,000 in software, books, and hardware to use with the PLATO Learning Achieve Now curriculum. This curriculum is nationally recognized and can blend into the various strands currently offered in schools nationwide.
