- October Momentum — Head Start Awareness + Conference Countdown. As we celebrate Head Start Awareness Month, there’s no better time to lean into our mission and connect with Florida’s early childhood leaders.

Registration for FHSA’s Annual Conference is open, and hotel rooms are filling fast. Join us for two and a half days of powerful learning, collaboration, and networking. See the agenda + register now.
- ICYMI: On October 8, Start Early hosted a timely Q&A webinar on the federal government shutdown and its impact on early childhood programs. Katie Hamm (Erikson Institute; former Deputy Assistant Secretary at ACF) and Devin O’Connor (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; former White House Senior Advisor) shared expert insights on funding, policy implications, and what programs should prepare for next. Watch the recording here to stay informed and ready for what’s ahead.
- ICYMI: Representative Robin Bartleman, Senator Alexis Calatayud, Darrick McGhee, and Molly Grant reflected on key legislative wins for Florida’s children and families—and what’s ahead. Hosted by The Children’s Movement of Florida, their insights remind us how vital it is to bring every voice—parents, educators, business leaders, and policymakers—into this work.
