Mid-September several ECS Head Start (HS) professionals ventured to Washington D.C. to attend the Head Start Association Leadership Institute for training and advocacy. HS leaders had the opportunity to speak with members of congress to include Sara Jacobs and Emily Latimar, the Legislative Correspondent for Congressman Juan Vargas. Our staff advocated for congress to earmark the appropriate level of funding needed for HS to properly serve San Diego children and families. After this immersive experience, HS leaders returned to ECS motivated and inspired with several key takeaways on how they can better serve our families.
