NHSA’s Resource Guide

The NHSA Resource Guide, an annual supplement to Children and Families, is a convenient one-stop resource that allows early childhood professionals to find and compare vendors that provide the vast array of products needed to deliver exceptional comprehensive Head Start services.

For Head Start and Early Head Start professionals:

We’ve worked to create a practical resource you can turn to when you need to purchase items for your center at competitive prices. We’ve done the initial legwork for you, so you won’t have to spend hours of your time looking for companies that provide the many products and services you need. Just browse our Resource Guide and find a list of companies to meet all your programming needs. We redesigned this year’s edition to make it even more useful, and we added loads of new categories!

Now we need your feedback… Let us know what you think and what categories and information you’d like to see in next year’s edition. Please e-mail your comments, suggestions, and requests to Julie@nhsa.org. Thank you!

For Vendors:

With an average funding of $7,300 per child, Head Start programs need a vast variety of products in order to deliver exceptional, comprehensive services — everything from toothbrushes, computers, and curriculum materials to nutritional meals, safe transportation, and developmentally appropriate playground and classroom equipment.

If your products or services help meet the needs of early childhood professionals, let us know and we’ll add you to our directory. Because our primary objective is to create a Resource Guide that will enable early childhood professionals to find top-quality products at competitive prices, our listings are free.
