| 12:00-1:00 PM | Closing General Session with Raelene Ostberg. With over 15 years in infant and toddler classrooms, Raelene understands the deeply meaningful work of caring for and educating infants and toddlers—or supporting those who do. These young, magical humans delight us with their curiosity, humor, and affection. At the same time, the work demands significant emotional labor, stretching adults with constant needs, big emotions, impulsive behavior, and nonstop exploration. Without intentional support, this daily intensity can quietly drain joy and lead to chronic stress and burnout.
Plus our Scholarship Award Winners Celebration | In Person |

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.
