🌟 Community Partner Spotlight 🌟

We’re proud to showcase our long-standing partnership with the Choctaw Nation Head Start Programs, who have been participating in our yearly trainings for over 15 years! 🙌

These trainings are designed specifically for parents of young Head Start students, helping them understand their children’s developmental milestones, special education rights, and how to access early support when needed.

While these sessions aren’t open to the public, they play a vital role in empowering families with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for their children early on. 💪👶

One of the key topics covered is Child Find, a process that helps identify, locate, and evaluate children who may need special education services ensuring every child receives the support they deserve to thrive. 🌈

We’re grateful for the Choctaw Nation Head Start’s continued commitment to supporting families and building brighter futures together! 💙
