Event Testimonials

  • The Not Your Average Training: Head Start 101 Master Class gave me a clearer understanding of Head Start’s purpose and reminded me why this work matters. I appreciated how the content was easy to follow and highlighted the importance of supporting the whole child and their family.

    BCHS Educator

  • This training renewed my why. I realized that every task I’m asked to do isn’t just work—it’s part of ensuring children and families receive quality care. I also loved the group activities and feedback, which helped me see how every role contributes to the success of our program.

    BCHS Leader

  • The Master Class training was a high-quality experience that brought clarity to the Head Start Act and Performance Standards—the “Bible” of our work. The role plays, team activities, and open participation made the learning engaging and impactful. Most importantly, it reconnected us to our why, strengthened our bond as a team, and reminded us how vital our work is for children, families, and the entire agency.
