HEAD START TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES
Head Start and Early Head Start programs face unprecedented challenges in the current environment of limited funding, while meeting complex family and community needs. A consultant provides a valuable “outsider” view of a program’s strengths and challenges, and can serve as a technical advisor in achieving compliance. As your management consultant, Kristen will help your management team resolve outstanding issues, address potential challenges proactively, and utilize a strength-based approach to program implementation.
