Established to serve low-income children and families, Head Start is a direct federal to local comprehensive program complete with its own requirements, regulations, and monitoring systems. State early education and care programs, such as child care licensing and public pre-kindergarten, often operate independently, missing opportunities to collaborate and maximize state and federal resources. Join us for a conversation with national, state, and Head Start leaders to discuss opportunities to work more closely together, aligning systems, increasing state investments in Head Start, and enhancing services for children and families.
