Head Start and Universal PreK: What We Know and What We Need
Thursday, September 09, 2021, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM EDT
Category: National Training or Event
Register Here!On September 9 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. EST, the National Head Start Association in partnership with the Children’s Equity Project will host Members of Congress, leading early childhood researchers and a roundtable of early childhood and equity-focused organizations to speak to the promising future of a universal preschool system that leads with equity, quality, accountability, and parent choice. Speakers will share their research and perspectives, including on how to build on Head Start's 55-year history and existing infrastructure to address the unmet need for high-quality, wraparound support for low-income children and families and seamlessly build Head Start into a universal pre-K system. As Congress debates a robust reconciliation bill that envisions a once-in-a-generation expansion of preschool, the timing is urgent for this conversation. Please join this discussion to help shape an expanded federal investment in preschool. Co-Hosts:
