The Head Start program provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services to low-income children and families across the United States. The Head Start program is federally funded and is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. The Head Start program has been in operation since 1965 and has served millions of children and families over the years.
The Head Start program has been shown to have a number of benefits for children and families. Studies have shown that children who participate in Head Start are more likely to succeed in school, have higher incomes, and have better health outcomes. Head Start also provides families with support and resources that can help them to improve their lives.
