In addition to offering evidence based health screenings and OHP application assistance to children and families, our car seat program continues to make a positive impact in communities we serve. We were able to provide 30 car seats to eligible families since our car seat program launched this past May. We are excited to be able to continue our car seat program!💙 #UMHS #headstartawarnessmonth
We had an incredible time at the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) state conference called the Impact of ONE. There were close to 150 CASA volunteers, staff and other community members that attended the conference at the Confederated Tribes of Grand Rhonde. Many of us left the conference inspired, and energized and looking forward to future state CASA conferences! 💙 #UMHS
Family Services focuses on the family as a whole and works together with them to help enhance their child’s learning, develop and achieve family goals, and build partnerships. One way this is accomplished is by hosting Family Nights where children, families, and staff come together to learn and grow together. In September, Hermiston Child Development Center held their first Family Night of the school year where they welcomed families with open arms and completed an activity to help everyone get to know each other.
Attending Family Nights is an amazing way to learn with your child and create a sense of community at each site. #UMHS #HeadStartAwarnessMonth 💙

Last week UMHS had its last Policy Council meeting for the 22-23 program year. Our parent/guardian leaders brought great insights, experience, and new ideas to the table this year. They had the big job of reviewing and approving grant applications, new playground equipment and played a key role in planning for our future. Thank you to each and every one of you for your time and support in early learning.
