Findings from this research inform ongoing national conversations around lessons learned for children, families, and educators in a post-pandemic world.
Perspectives
This paper came about from my dissertation work at the University of Illinois Chicago. I am grateful to the incredible Head Start program directors who generously shared their stories with me, the IL Head Start Association, and my dissertation committee. It is my hope that the amazing innovation that emerged during COVID-19 will continue to guide the field of early childhood in coming years.
