2024 ACF Tribal Early Childhood Consultation - Fort McDowell, Arizona
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD), Office of Child Care (OCC), and Office of Head Start (OHS) hosted Tribal leaders and delegates for an ACF Tribal Early Childhood Consultation in July of 2024. The consultation was held in-person at the We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort in Ft. McDowell, AZ. The joint consultation sought input on topics broadly related to Tribal early childhood programs and services, as well as specific input on Head Start, Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), and Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) programs.
The oral and written testimonies from tribal leaders and their delegates were synthesized and are included in the ACF Tribal Early Childhood Consultation Report (PDF) along with ACF's response to Tribal feedback. We encourage all interested parties to review the report.
