Project Eagle

This week, members of our Project Eagle/Educare Kansas City community, including leadership team members, teachers, and parents, traveled to Tulsa for the Educare Network’s Catalyst 26 National Summit alongside early childhood leaders from across the country.

Throughout the week, we were reminded that meaningful change for children and families starts with strong relationships, supportive communities, and people willing to invest in the future of early childhood education.

One of the highlights of the week was the opportunity to visit Educare Tulsa and experience the incredible work happening in their classrooms and school community firsthand.

We left feeling inspired and hopeful about the impact of early childhood education. During the closing session, Harvard economist Dr. Raj Chetty shared research showing how high-quality early childhood experiences can shape lifelong success, opportunity, and stronger communities.

We are proud to be part of the Educare Network and grateful for a week filled with learning, connection, and inspiration. 💙

Since 1965, Head Start has offered opportunity and hope to young children and families in our Kansas communities and across the nation. In Head Start programs across Kansas, children are developing important skills that prepare them for success in school and set a strong foundation for their futures.

Project Eagle currently has six active classroom projects posted through DonorsChoose, and we would love your support!

These projects were created by our teachers to help provide hands-on learning opportunities that encourage creativity, exploration, dramatic play, outdoor learning, social-emotional growth, and problem solving for the children we serve each day.

From outdoor exploration tools and mud kitchen supplies to dramatic play materials, sensory items, and classroom resources that support communication and teamwork, each project was designed to help create engaging learning experiences for our students.

At Project Eagle, we know children learn best when they can explore, imagine, create, and actively participate in the world around them. These projects help make that possible.

If you would like to support our classrooms and help bring these projects to life, please visit our DonorsChoose page here:
