The partnership of the Navajo Indigenous LAUNCH, the Navajo Nation Division of Behavioral and Mental Health Services, and the First Things First Navajo Nation Region presented the 2024 Diné Early Childhood Summit at the Tsotsvalki Conference Center, in the Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites, Tuba City, AZ.
The Summit was held on Tuesday, August 6, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM MDT
The Diné Early Childhood Summit featured speakers and discussion sessions with key stakeholders and decision makers who guide the direction of services in the Navajo Nation for early childhood and family services, early education, early care systems, early intervention coordination, child welfare and child health advancement. Parents/caregivers, professionals, stakeholders and supporters of the Navajo Nation early childhood system attended the summit.
We hope you will join us to guide, learn and discuss effective ways to support young children and families in the Navajo Nation at our future events and summits.
