NHSA’s annual Parent and Family Engagement Conference is the sole national event dedicated to enhancing the partnership between Head Start parents, families, and staff to foster family engagement and children’s development.
Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into a variety of new resources and innovative ideas on important topics in early childhood development. Partnering with families is a vital component of the Head Start program. You will discover new methods to engage with families, learn how to build strong relationships, and develop open lines of communication. Programs and families working together promote children's success both at home and school.
Engage With Your Communities of Practice
NHSA organizes sessions into Communities of Practice areas, which facilitate networked learning between both peers and experts. A Community of Practice is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do.
The Communities of Practice are:
- Data (Management and Continuous Quality Improvement)
- Early Head Start
- Education and Child Development
- Enrollment, Recruitment, Selection, Eligibility, and Attendance (ERSEA)
- Family and Community Engagement
