Millions of children and families eligible for Early Head Start and Head Start face barriers to access that inhibit awareness, enrollment, and attendance. When these barriers are not confronted and addressed, the result is less equity in our community.

Removing barriers starts with learning. Join this webinar to hear the results from a first-of-its-kind national survey conducted by NHSA in the summer of nearly 2,400 of your peers in the Head Start community.

On the call you will hear and learn about:
• The top barriers to access as identified by program directors, front-line staff, and parents;
• Perceptions of how prejudice, bias, and discrimination—historical and current—shape and exacerbate these barriers;
• Views about how well programs are reflecting and serving diverse communities—and who is being left out; and
• Surprising findings about how Head Start’s income eligibility impacts diversity.
