We were pleased to welcome Assistant Secretary Alex Adams and Office of Head Start Director Lizbeth Casco White to Educare DC today.

During their visit, Assistant Secretary Adams read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" to an Early Head Start classroom and delighted students by showing them a photo of a real brown bear on his phone.

We were proud to share Educare DC's model and the outcomes we are achieving for children and families. For 61 years, the strong foundation of Head Start has produced positive outcomes for children and families through high-quality early learning, comprehensive services, and strong partnerships with families. At Educare DC, we continue that mission every day.

Thank you to Administration for Children and Families - ACF for taking the time to see that impact firsthand.
