About Us: A Different Kind of Educational Partner

At e&e Educational Partners, we do things differently. Led by a 20-year veteran of special education, we walked away from the high-volume corporate agency model that treats passionate educators like numbers.

We operate on a retention-first philosophy. This means we focus entirely on long-term culture fit, continuity of care, and ensuring you feel supported, valued, and empowered to make a real difference in early childhood development.

We are currently building our specialized early intervention team for high-impact, in-person placements across the Mid-Willamette Valley. Exact building assignments and travel routes will be matched based on your location preferences, clinical skill set, and commute.
