Our Super Start Team
Introducing the interventionists dedicated to helping caregivers experience the joy of early childhood
Michelle Farrell
Owner
Developmental Interventionist
Pyramid Model Facilitator & Coach
Hi, I’m Michelle, owner of Super Start Colorado. Over my past 21 years in early childhood education, I’ve had the privilege of serving in many roles—from classroom teacher and program director to credentialed coach and trainer. Today, I’m honored to lead a dedicated team of specialists delivering Early Intervention (EI) services across the Denver Metro area. At the same time, my heart remains close to home, where I directly support children, families, and childcare programs in Brighton, Reunion, and Commerce City.
My passion lies in HOPE principles and the Pyramid Model—frameworks that prioritize positive experiences, nurturing relationships and predictable caregiving which set the stage for inclusion, joy and growth. As a certified Pyramid Model facilitator, I specialize in equipping families and educators with evidence-based strategies that build lifelong confidence, support social-emotional learning, and foster inclusion within every environment.
That professional perspective took on an even deeper meaning when I became a mother, one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. Raising my strong-willed, persistent, and loving little girl reminds me daily of both the joy and the real-life challenges of parenting. She inspires me to keep growing, stay grounded, and bring genuine empathy and heart to every child, family, and caregiver I serve.
Jana Hoover
Founder
Family Coaching Director
Hi, my name is Jana. I lead our Early Intervention Family Coaching Program. I am an Early Childhood Special Educator with two Masters in Education and Early Childhood Special Education. I have a Colorado Early Childhood Special Education teaching license. I have been working in early education for over 25 years. Before I was a Developmental Interventionist working with families at home, I was a classroom teacher in Colorado, Texas, and Maryland. I have also directed various school and center based early childhood centers, managing teams of over 25 teachers and 300 children. I am now a mother myself with two young girls and know first hand how difficult it can be meeting your child’s developmental needs. I am passionate about helping families create small changes that have a big impact on the daily functioning of the whole family. I am also a Family and Infant Mental Health Specialist endorsed through the Colorado Association for Infant Mental Health. My passion is working with children who are struggling with big emotions like frustration and anger and helping them find ways to express themselves with confidence.
