Our 2024, First 1,000 Days! Early Head Start Conference will focus on the most important task of our Educators – embracing hope for the future in our families and communities we serve. Core to Early Head Start’s mission has been to be a beacon of hope, by engaging the heart and soul of our staff to elevate effective practices in homes, centers, and communities. Many of us carry the scars of trauma, both primary and secondary, our time together will explore strategies that assist us and those we serve to move forward. Our theme for this years conference is Embracing Hope, Heart, and Healing.
Areas of focus for the conference will include maternal and child health, infant and early childhood mental health, social emotional learning, safe environments, personal development and self care, and leadership and program quality improvement.

I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Region 9 Head Start Association’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
