Early Head Start and Head Start are comprehensive programs that have been empowering young children and families for decades, providing critical support in education, health, and family well-being. Launched as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty in 1965, Head Start has since expanded to include Early Head Start in 1994, designed to support infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. These programs offer children from low-income families the skills and resources they need to succeed in school and beyond, while also engaging parents as partners in their child’s development. Today, our Head Start programs continue to provide high-quality early childhood education, nutritious meals, health screenings, and family services, laying a strong foundation for the future of our youngest learners.
