Head Start is a federal program for preschool children from low-income families. The Head Start program is operated by local non-profit organizations in almost every county in the united states.
Head Start helps all children succeed. Most Children in Head Start are between 3 and 5 years old. Children who attend Head Start participate in a variety of educational activities that help them grow mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.
The Head Start Staff recognize that, as parents, you are the first and most important teachers of your children. They will welcome your involvement and will work as partners with you to help your children progress.
Head Start Staff members offer your child love, acceptance, understanding, and the opportunity to learn and to experience success. Head Start children socialize with others, solve problems, and have other experiences which help them become self-confident. The children also improve their listening and speaking skills.
The children spend more time in stimulating settings where they form good habbits and enjoy playing with toys and working on tasks with classmates. Your child will leave Head Start more prepared for kindergarten, excited about learning, and ready to succeed.
