Why directors should send their staff:

Child and family development is the heart of Head Start—and often the focus of reviews. Sending your staff to this workshop will:

Reduce compliance risks in screenings, IFSP/IEP documentation, and family services.
Improve data quality by training staff to enter and monitor information consistently across service areas.
Strengthen family partnerships through better IFPA, engagement events, and parent communication tools.
Increase efficiency by teaching staff to use GoEngage features that save time on home visits, screenings, and reporting.
Support whole-child outcomes by connecting education, health, and family engagement into one system.

Your staff will come back prepared to lead stronger family partnerships, improve developmental tracking, and build a more review-ready, outcomes-focused program.
