Families Unite Campaign
This campaign aims to engage Head Start families in building lasting relationships with their members of Congress.
The Head Start Read Aloud Challenge is an NHSA national initiative to read more. This is a challenge to adults who care about children to record yourself reading a story and then post it to social media. Through this initiative, we are promoting literacy and raising awareness of the learning loss that occurs when school is out for extended times.
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Toolkit
NHSA and CCSSO have released a comprehensive toolkit to help school districts meet new federal requirements that they formally partner with Head Start.
National Reading Month
In honor of National Reading Month this March NHSA is partnering with actor and author Taye Diggs to promote cultural understanding and pride while wishing Congress a Happy National Reading Month.
Pay for Success
NHSA is working on a white paper that will educate the field on the past, present, and future of Pay for Success in ECE. We also submitted comments to the Department of Education regarding the feasibility pilot.
NHSA is excited to announce the winners of the 2017 Garden Grants Project made possible with support from Chef Hugh Acheson, our Healthy Living Ambassador! While these are the initial awardees, be on the lookout for more garden grant opportunities in the very near future!
Starting America Early
