Head Start staff, you advocate for children and families every day. Today, we're asking you to advocate for yourself and your colleagues.

A proposed federal rule would remove requirements aimed at improving wages and benefits for the Head Start workforce. Together for Head Start is collecting signatures on a joint comment letter urging continued support for workforce compensation and additional funding for programs.

This is your opportunity to help ensure decision-makers hear directly from the people doing this work every day.

Today is the final day to sign.

Big things are growing at Reach Dane 🌱

We’re excited to share that we’ve been awarded funding through the City of Fitchburg, WI, Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative to purchase seeds and starts for the 2027 growing season at Tilly's Farm!

This support helps us continue growing our farm initiative and create more hands-on learning, connection, and fresh opportunities for the children and families we serve.

Stay tuned for what’s ahead 🌻🥕🍅

A few members of our team spent time volunteering out at Tilly’s Farm (and Tilly was loving every minute of it!!) 🌱💚

We’re excited to watch the growing season come to life and can’t wait for all that’s ahead at the farm ☀️🌻🥕

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible teachers who make a difference every day. 💛

Thank you for the patience, creativity, encouragement, and care you pour into every child. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, helping children grow with confidence, curiosity, and love.

To all of our amazing teachers at Reach Dane and beyond: we appreciate you today and every day.
