From the beginning, Head Start has not only kept up with current trends, but has introduced new and bold ideas into the broader early learning community. Early Head Start, too, is a model of the very best and most innovative in child and family services.

The Early Head Start Learning Series honors our drive to learn and to introduce and incorporate the best new evidence-based practices and ideas into our practice. We collaborate with partners and colleagues across the early learning spectrum, such as: Child Welfare League of America, Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center, champions from the field, top program leader to share their finds and these best practices.
