Sixty-one years ago, Head Start started as an 8-week summer program. Eight weeks. The idea was modest by design, a way to see if reaching kids early could make a difference.

It made a difference.

What grew from those first summers is now one of the longest-running early childhood programs in American history, serving families in cities, rural towns, tribal communities, and migrant farmworker camps alike. Forty million children and counting.

Today we mark 61 years — not just with pride, but with real gratitude for the teachers, family advocates, nurses, and parents who do this work every single day.

Today was a special day for the INCA Early Head Start in Atoka. Our littles got to enjoy some fun in the shade with a water splashing party, and they had an absolute blast! From water activities to lots of smiles and laughter, it was a great way to make memories and enjoy the day together. Moments like these remind us how important it is for children to learn, play, and simply be kids. 💦☀️

End of the year celebration with Atoka INCA Head Start and Atoka Public School Pre-K3.

I'm glad I was your teacher,
I've come to love you so,
I can't believe the end is here,
I hate to see you go!
Remember all the fun we had
and all the things we did.
But, most of all, remember
YOU are a very special kid!

Wishing everyone a great and safe summer!

Last center, but certainly not least!

Buckle up, because the INCA Davis crew just took “Staff Appreciation Week” to a whole new level of literal. 🚀When the team put in a request for a social outing that involved “going back in time” and being a “real gang,” we didn't just rent a bowling alley. We opened a rift in the space-time continuum. 🌀Our staff has been tearing through the centuries like they’re on a deadline! We spotted them pillaging snacks in the 1600s, causing a ruckus in the 1800s, and they were last seen rocking some questionable neon in the 90s.The last time we checked the radar, they were officially leaving 2020 in the rearview mirror (can’t blame ‘em there) and were headed straight for the future. 🤖✨We love our team and their sense of adventure, but let’s be real: the paperwork doesn't file itself in the year 3000. They better have their hoverboards parked and be back in the office by Monday morning!Happy Staff Appreciation Week to the best time-traveling gang in the galaxy!

P.S. LEAVE THE FRIENDS YOU MADE ALONG THE WAY WHERE YOU FOUND THEM!!

Trip of a Lifetime! 🌴🚢
The Tishomingo and Milburn crew are officially back on solid ground! They just returned from an incredible journey to a mysterious tropical island, and let’s just say the memories (and the laughs) were endless.
From singing their hearts out on the ship to the adrenaline rush of swimming with sharks and dolphins, every moment was an adventure. We even got up close and personal with some local wildlife—though some of us were faster at running away than others! 🐒🏃‍♀️
It was the perfect mix of relaxation and wild fun. So grateful for this amazing group and the memories.

We are still working on gathering all the photo up from our AI staff appreciation ✈️ celebrations! Next up! The ladies from Wapy and Mill Creek!

Holy Gaucamole! Look who survived Spain! 🇪🇸
The Mill Creek and Wapanucka teams are officially back on American soil, and let’s just say... things got a little wild in Pamplona! 🐂
From what we’ve heard (and the "evidence" we’ve seen), these ladies didn't just go for the tapas—they went for the gold! They were spotted:
• 👟 Outrunning actual bulls in full gear (mostly).
• 🤫 Hiding in alleyways with beach balls (standard tactical equipment, obviously).
• 🏆 Crossing the finish line and bringing home the "Inca Head Start" trophy!
They cleaned up so well for their Teacher Appreciation Gala Dinner that you’d never guess they were sprinting for their lives just hours before. 🥂✨
Welcome back to our favorite world-traveling educators! We’re just glad you brought the trophy home and left the bulls in Spain. 🐃❌
