Year of Whole Health Initiative
The National Head Start Association is engaging in a new initiative during the 2018-2019 program year to support all aspects of health. This year-long campaign is bringing a renewed focus to specific areas of health, which were identified as priorities for the field through surveys and other outreach. NHSA is using this opportunity to share resources, webinars, and other tools to help promote and improve the health and wellbeing of Head Start children, families, and staff.
Supporting the Head Start Workforce Blog
NHSA launched a new guest blog series, Supporting the Head Start Workforce, in 2019 to elevate the voices of Head Start teachers and staff, early childhood workforce experts, and program leaders and to encourage innovative workforce strategies.
NHSA Quality Initiative
Driven by NHSA’s mission to coalesce, inspire, and support the Head Start field as a leader in early childhood development and education, the NHSA Quality Initiative is the premier program recognizing and supporting excellence and outstanding performance of Head Start and Early Head Start programs across the nation.
