The Region II Head Start Association is seeking proposals for sessions for our 2019 Annual Professional Development Conference which will be held at the Bally’s Atlantic City in Atlantic City, New Jersey from October 23-25 2019.  

 

The conference focus is The Superheroes in Head Start: Full Stream Ahead in Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art and Math and will feature institutes, workshops, seminars and forums covering a wide range of topics related to Head Start / Early Head Start and Child Care.  

 

The audience will include: head start parents, staff members, administrators (regional, state and territories), policy makers, fiscal officers, community partners, etc.  We anticipate that this conference will attract over 250 participants from New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and more!
