Head Start

Head Start is a federal program in the United States designed to promote early childhood education, health, and well-being for children from low-income families. Launched in 1965, it provides comprehensive services, including preschool education, medical and dental care, nutrition, and parental support. The goal of Head Start is to prepare children for school and enhance their development, fostering a strong foundation for lifelong learning. By focusing on social, emotional, and cognitive growth, the program aims to break the cycle of poverty and empower families to engage actively in their children's education.
