Early Childhood Education Summit

The future prosperity of our communities and country is based on the positive early development of our children.  The first five years are crucial for all children in developing the skills they need as the workforce of tomorrow.

Young children need a nurturing family, quality healthcare, sound nutrition, adequate housing and appropriate recreation in order to thrive.  Their parents or caregivers may need a variety of enabling and supportive services to allow them to provide for and nurture their children.

United Way of Hays County, along with our partner Community Action Inc. of Central Texas Head Start, invites you to spend the morning with us dialouging about how we as a community can use education as a weapon to change Hays & Caldwell Counties for the better.
