Nominated By: Bernadette Chase – Stanislaus County Office of Education Child Family Service
I would like to nominate JayLynn Blagg as a STEAM Hero for Head Start West. As an Early Childhood Education (ECE) Coach, JayLynn plays a vital role in supporting and training teachers to intentionally integrate science, technology, engineering, art, and math into their classrooms. She provides ongoing coaching, modeling, and professional development that strengthens teachers’ understanding of STEAM and builds their confidence in implementing hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences. JayLynn shares practical strategies, resources, and examples that help teachers create engaging learning environments where children can explore, investigate, and think critically. Her guidance encourages teachers to use open-ended questions, creative materials, and meaningful activities that foster curiosity and problem-solving skills in young children. Through her leadership, collaboration, and passion for STEAM, JayLynn positively impacts classroom practices and children’s learning outcomes across Head Start West. Her dedication to building teacher capacity and promoting high-quality STEAM instruction truly makes her a STEAM Hero.
I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Head Start WEST’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
