Why

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.
