The story of IAP-X begins not in a boardroom, but in a busy child care center in Cleveland, OH, where our founder, Brandy Coleman, was a center owner.

For over 20 years, Brandy lived the daily anxiety of school leadership. She mastered balancing budgets, running professional development, and navigating compliance, but one single point of failure was constant: reliable substitute staffing.

"I remember the crushing stress of the 6:30 AM sick call," she says. "It set off a cascade: pulling a lead teacher out of her own classroom, compromising ratios, risking compliance fines, and ultimately, ensuring that every teacher left work running on empty. A child care center can't be high-quality if its educators are constantly pouring from an empty cup."

This chronic, industry-wide problem, the reliance on unreliable, reactive staffing, is the spark that ignited IAP-X. The mission became clear: to eliminate the anxiety of absence and protect the quality of early learning.

The solution wasn't just another agency; it was a complete operational overhaul. Brandy leveraged her deep experience and her Master's and doctoral studies in Education to create the Nexus Quantum Platform (NQP).

IAP-X blends this predictive AI with the human touch, employing the Nexus Master Educator Corps (NMEC)—a dedicated, highly-paid, and professional workforce. The goal is simple: to bring stability, structure, and dignity back to the early childhood field.

Reliable care is not optional; it is foundational. IAP-X was built from the ground up by an educator who understands the juggle, a mother, a partner, and a dedicated leader, to ensure every child care center can deliver high-quality education without burnout, without stress, and without compromising standards.
