Head Start Awareness Video
Khari Garvin: Hello, I am Khari Garvin, Director of the Office of Head Start. I am so thrilled to kick off our Head Start Awareness Month celebration. This month, we shine a light on the transformative work being done across the country to ensure that children and families furthest from opportunity have access to Head Start's comprehensive services.
I encourage you to spread the word about how your program creates an inclusive environment where every child and family feels that they belong. We'll be highlighting the incredible efforts of our dedicated Head Start workforce, the heart of our program, who provide early learning opportunities, health services, family well-being support, and so much more.
The Office of Head Start will be buzzing with activity. We're excited to share a webinar featuring some of our Head Start collaboration directors; an email series on how your values of equity, inclusion, and belonging are integrated into every program area; Interactive social media posts; and an announcement about improving the digital experience of your community.
To help spread the word, I invite you to explore our digital toolkit on the Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center website. It's filled with resources that highlight our services and provides a warm welcome to families.
You can easily reshare posts on your social media to ensure everyone in your community knows about the life changing opportunities your Head Start program provides. Make sure to subscribe for alerts, follow us on social media, and use the hashtag #HeadStartAwarenessMonth. Share this celebration with a friend by forwarding this message or post.
Finally, I want to acknowledge our Head Start workforce for their dedication to children and families every day. We at the Office of Head Start are committed to supporting you in tangible ways that respond to your needs. Thank you for all you do, and I look forward to celebrating Head Start Awareness Month with you. So long, everyone.
