What We Offer

Coaching, professional development, and training to parents, teachers, and early childhood educators. Grow Into Success uses a strength-based coaching model to enhance healthy interactions in the classroom and within the home.

Social-emotional development plays a crucial role in academic success. Research shows that deficits in social skills can hinder a learner’s ability to focus, participate, and cooperate effectively in school settings. When children struggle to regulate their emotions or maintain attention, they may exhibit disruptive behaviors that further impact their learning and that of their peers. Enhancing social skills involves creating environments where children can recognize and manage their emotions, practice social interactions, and observe positive social behaviors. By equipping educators with the skills and strategies to integrate social-emotional learning into curriculum, instruction, and classroom environments, we aim to cultivate supportive learning environments that promote both social growth and academic achievement. This holistic approach ensures that students develop the essential skills needed to thrive academically and socially throughout their educational journey.

Founding

Grow Into Success was founded by Tasha McMullan in 2019. Ms. McMullan noticed the disparities in responses to student behavior within Child Care programs and wanted to support teachers in creating welcoming environments and nurturing interactions. Ms. McMullan worked with Head Start programs to develop Behavioral Guidance Policies and Procedures and train staff using evidence-based practices to promote social and emotional development, which improved child outcomes in social-emotional development, language, and literacy.
Ms. McMullan received her Bachelor’s degree from North Park University in Counseling Psychology; she later obtained a Master’s in Early Childhood Education from Capella University and is currently ABD for her Doctoral program in Curriculum and Instruction at Capella University. She has more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education. As the mother of three children, her dedication to enhancing the academic success of African American children has guided her work.
