Early Learning Institute

As we say goodbye to the National Home Visiting Conference in Washington D.C., we wanted to share one of our favorite slides which hit a bit close to home: A Day in the Life of a Home Visitor!

It's Capitol Hill visit day!
Today, ELI joined Home Visiting programs from around the country in meeting with legislators about many of the challenges facing our industry.
More pictures to come!....Our feet hurt.

It's Dolly Day!

Sleep is invaluable to brain health, growth, and routine setting.
Don't sleep on it!

Sleep needs can vary from one person to another, but there are science-based guidelines to help you determine whether your child is getting the sleep they need to grow, learn and play. Save this chart and share it with another parent!

When it comes to developmental services, it can often take some detective work. Fortunately, we have our best people on it.

It's Official!
The signs are up, and the ELI annex is looking great, as is our new baby classroom!

Advocates, we need your voices once again!
The Administration for Children and Families has proposed several changes to Head Start services that would be disastrous for those receiving services. It would remove safeguards like caseload sizes and visit frequency, and remove requirements on timely screenings. It would also eliminate several workforce qualifications and requirements.
All of this would result in more children in need of support falling through the cracks, and a lower quality of services for those that do receive them.

Moving Day at ELI!
More services means more space is needed, and so we begin our expansion into the building next to ours.
We have you surrounded, EndRun Technologies!
