The well-being of Head Start teachers is essential to ensuring high-quality early care and education (ECE) and supporting children's development. The COVID-19 pandemic raised unique challenges to teachers' well-being. In this brief, the authors explore Head Start teachers' health, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, stress, and job satisfaction; the supports programs offered and the ones teachers used; and the associations between teachers' well-being and those supports during the pandemic. The authors use data collected in fall 2021 and spring 2022 from the 2021-2022 Study of Family and Staff Well-Being in Head Start FACES Programs (the 2021-2022 Study), after nearly two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings reveal insights about the well-being of Head Start teachers in the wake of the pandemic and ways to support their well-being. The data in this brief provide a window into the experiences of Head Start teachers who were able to respond to the survey in 2021-2022.
