Nonprofit operating early childhood and youth development programs across California
Catalyst Family operates a scaled network of child care, early childhood education, and youth programs serving over 10,000 children and families annually across California. The organization runs on a Microsoft-first stack (Office, 365, Azure AD, QRIS) and is actively hiring 135+ roles in the last 30 days, with engineering-skewed demand (253 education roles) concentrated at junior and mid levels—typical of nonprofits scaling program delivery rather than building technology. Current project focus spans curriculum implementation (Expanded Learning, developmentally appropriate frameworks) and compliance tracking (QRIS for infant/toddler programs, ASES), suggesting investment in both program quality and state regulatory readiness.

Catalyst Family is a nonprofit founded in 1975 that provides family services including child care, early childhood education, summer camps, and before/after-school programs. The organization operates across California with 1,001–5,000 employees and serves over 10,000 children and families each year. Operations are anchored in child development and family support rather than technology, with tech infrastructure focused on Microsoft productivity tools, QRIS (Quality Rating Improvement Systems), and compliance management. Active initiatives include rolling out new curricula (Expanded Learning, intentional enriched learning environments), ensuring state regulatory compliance, and streamlining internal documentation—all common challenges for nonprofit networks operating multiple program sites.
Catalyst Family uses Microsoft Office, Excel, Word, Microsoft 365, Azure AD, and Azure Entra ID for core operations, plus QRIS for program quality tracking, TeamViewer for remote support, JAMF for device management (iOS), and AlertMedia for communications.
