Community is at the heart of everything we do, and that was on full display at our Tips, Tricks & Treats Night!

Families connected with local organizations, learned about valuable resources, enjoyed Halloween fun, and discovered ways to save energy and reduce household costs during Energy Efficiency Month.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to the community partners, volunteers, and staff who helped make this event a success. When we come together, we create opportunities, strengthen families, and make our community a better place for everyone.

Celebrating Family Leadership During Head Start Awareness Month 💙

Earlier this month, we welcomed both returning and new members of our Policy Council for an engaging parent training focused on the history of Head Start, the vital role of Policy Council members, and the many ways families help shape our program.

One of the highlights of the day was a collaborative activity where parents and Family Specialists envisioned their ideal Head Start center. Their ideas centered on welcoming environments, strong relationships, respect, support, and a true sense of belonging for every child and family.

As we celebrate Head Start Awareness Month, experiences like these remind us that for 60 years, Head Start has been built on partnership with families. That collaboration continues to be the foundation of everything we do and what makes our program so impactful.

A heartfelt thank you to our parents, Family Specialists, and staff for making this training such a success. Together, we're building brighter futures for children, strengthening families, and creating stronger communities every day.

As we celebrate Head Start Awareness Month, we're shining a spotlight on our amazing Recruitment Committees in Utica, Rome, and Herkimer! 💙

These dedicated parents, family members, and community supporters play a vital role in helping us connect eligible children and families with the high-quality, comprehensive services offered through Head Start and Early Head Start. Their voices, experiences, and ideas help strengthen our program and ensure more families have access to the resources they need to succeed.

We are grateful for their commitment to supporting year-round recruitment and enrollment efforts and for helping us build stronger communities where children and families can thrive.
