General Overview: 

Head Start programs promote the school readiness of infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children from low-income families.

 

Services are provided in a variety of settings including centers, family child care, and children’s own home. Head Start programs also engage parents or other key family members in positive relationships, with a focus on family wellbeing. Parents participate in leadership roles, including having a say in program operations.

Head Start programs support children's growth in a positive learning environment.
