It’s November and we’ve been busy at Head Start! We’ve spent the last two months visiting staff in all of our villages to conduct required site visits and support our teachers as they established their classrooms. It was a joy to spend time with all of the Head Start staff and families and see all of the wonderful work our teachers do firsthand.
This month staff will be traveling to Fairbanks for another in-person training from the 13th to the 17th. During this time, we’re going to provide training on child development with speech pathologists, physical therapists and occupational therapists. We’re also going to provide training on autism, child assessments, referrals, developmental plans and how to successfully individualize lesson plans.
Give Your Child a Head Start!
Children in Head Start are more likely to receive dental checkups and have healthy eating patterns than non-participants.
There are still spots available for children in the classrooms across our Region! If you have a child under the age of four that you’d like to enroll, please contact Waverly Neal at 907-452-8251 or 800-478-6822 ext. 3998 for more information.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
TCC Head Start has teamed up with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library! Every month enrolled children from the ages of birth to 5 will get a free age appropriate book! Reading together is a wonderful way to build a lifelong love for reading with children and to promote family time. If you do not have a local Head Start educator, please contact Waverly Neal at 907-452-8251 or 800-478-6822 ext. 3998.
