Description
Head Start (and early head start) has a long tradition of success in helping at-risk children and their parents with school readiness, making certain that basic health needs are met and that social, emotional, and physical growth continues through life. Head Start programs follow the Early Learning Framework and monitor children's educational growth, as well as provide health and dental screenings. Head Start also supports parents through parenting classes and in setting and realizing education and job goals. They connect parents with resources to manage finances and education, in order to find the path out of poverty.
