Los Niños offers special education services to children under 5 years of age through 3 programs: Early Intervention, Preschool Special Education, and Private Services. The company mission is to be of great service to others, helping young children and families learn and grow well. There are approximately 300 staff, 90 FTEs and 200 part time employees. The company was founded in 1998 by Scott Mesh and Edita Diaz, both psychologists.
Mesh and Diaz attended several Topgrading programs sponsored by the Entrepreneur’s Organization and took their management team of 8 to a Topgrading Workshop in New York City. They contacted Chris Mursau, President of Topgrading, who helped them develop a rollout plan including training all managers on an ongoing basis, creating Job Scorecards for teaching and other positions, and measuring Topgrading ROI.
"Topgrading is the #1 reason for our company’s success. We’ve hired people who share our core values, especially to provide ‘wow’ customer experience. It’s also the main reason we have won many “best company” awards. People on our team become like a family."
Scott Mesh, Executive Director
