What is Head Start?
Head Start is a nation-wide child development program that has served low–income families since 1965. Head Start programs serve children birth to 5 years of age and their families. The goal of Head Start is to help children be prepared for school by providing a wide range of services that consider each child's and family's developmental, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage and experience. Head Start provides education and assistance in the areas of:
- Education and early childhood development
- Medical, dental, and mental health
- Nutrition
- Parent involvement
