39th Annual Head Start Conference

Participating in this years National Head Start Conference in Nashville Tennessee was an amazing experience.
The National Head start program has made such a difference in the lives of so many all across the united states.
The commitment to ensuring that all children, no matter what their background, get the best start in life is truly commendable.
The varied programs offered through Head start, help meets the needs of families in different ways.
There is the home visitation programs for families that qualify and the center based programs for infants and toddlers as well as preschoolers.
Head start continues to strive to ensure that their programs are running safe and efficiently with the latest learning opportunities for the children in this country.
Head Start has stringent regulations for how their programs are run as well as policies to ensure that their regulations are being met.
I enjoyed meeting the many directors and teachers of varied Head Start programs all over the country.
The lecture I presented on was on the topic of infant and toddler development. What a wonderful audience of dedicated teachers and home visiting specialists with such an interest in the latest information on early childhood development. We discussed motor development, cognitive development, reflex integrations, sensory processing, language, engagement and more.
Who doesn't like talking about babies?
Looking forward to seeing you all again at next year's conference!!!!!
