  1. Designation Renewal System Overview, In 2020, HHS revised three of the seven DRS conditions that trigger an agency to compete for continued funding. These changes better identify the grants that would most benefit from competition and increase grantee focus on improving performance in important measures of quality.

  2. Engaging Families of Children with Disabilities, Engaging families of children with disabilities is rooted in the foundation of Head Start. Here are some resources highlighting relationship-based practices used to partner with families of children with disabilities, from program entry through the transition to kindergarten. Learn how to partner with families of children with disabilities effectively. ECLKC, updated January 17, 2023

  3. Enrollment is open now for Florida's Emergent Literacy Micro-Credential. If you are a Birth through PreK instructional personnel (public or private), including Head Start, you need to check this out. A completion stipend is also available for VPK and early learning instructional personnel.

Please visit our WYNTK resource webpage, which is updated regularly, and the FHSA events list for more information. If there is something else you need guidance on, let us know - we will continue to work with state agencies and partners to answer your questions.
