🎥 VIDEO RECAP | SCSHSA Fatherhood & Male Engagement Conference 2026 💙
What an incredible experience!
Tri-County Head Start fathers and male staff recently traveled to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to attend the annual South Carolina State Head Start Association Fatherhood & Male Engagement Conference.
This inspiring event brought together fathers, mentors, educators, and community leaders from across the region to celebrate the vital role men play in the lives of children and families.
Throughout the conference, our team gained valuable knowledge, built meaningful connections, shared experiences, and returned home with new tools and ideas to strengthen family engagement throughout our communities.
A special thank you to everyone who participated and represented Tri-County Head Start with pride. Your dedication to supporting children and families continues to make a lasting impact every day.
📽️ Check out this recap of an unforgettable journey filled with learning, leadership, brotherhood, and purpose.

Memorial Day Weekend
As we pay tribute to the incredible men and women who've served our country this Memorial Day, let's also make sure we're keeping our families safe around the water. Heading to the pool or beach this weekend? Here are some friendly reminders for your holiday:
- Wear life jackets when you're going to be in or around natural bodies of water, especially young children.
- Always buddy up – no solo swims!
- Keep a close eye on the kids – no distractions.
Use the 5 Layers of Protection:
1. Barriers and alarms
2. Supervision
3. Water Competency
4. Life Jackets
5. Emergency Preparation
