How We Change Communities

Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to 5 from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social and emotional development. We work with parents and see them as their child's first and most important teacher.

Head Start programs provide a learning environment that supports children's growth in:

Language and literacy
Cognition and general knowledge
Physical development and health
Social and emotional development
Approaches to learning
