Early Childhood Education: Head Start

"Early Head Start (EHS) is a federally funded community-based program for low-income families with infants and toddlers and pregnant women. Its mission is simple:
to promote healthy prenatal outcomes for pregnant women, to enhance the development of very young children, and to promote healthy family functioning."

"The Head Start locator is a searchable directory that provides locations, addresses, and driving directions for Head Start programs, centers, and grantees."

"Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to five from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development."

"Our vision is to lead. To be the untiring voice that will not be quiet until every vulnerable child is served with the Head Start model of support for the whole child, the family and the community. To advocate. To work diligently for policy and institutional changes that ensure all vulnerable children and families have what they need to succeed."
