Geminus Head Start is working with First Things First Porter County and Stanford University to send out community surveys to families with young children. The RAPID survey, created by Stanford University, asks important questions about how families with children under 6 years old are doing.

By answering the survey, you can share your thoughts about how your child is growing, how caregivers are feeling, and what help families are accessing and need.

The most powerful, simple and trusted way to gather experience data. Start your journey to experience management and try a free account today.

🎂 Happy 61st Birthday, Head Start!

Sixty-one years ago, a bold idea took root: every child — no matter their zip code or family income — deserves a strong start in life. What began as an 8-week summer program in 1965 has since served more than 38 million children and counting.

Today, Head Start programs across all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories continue that promise every single day — offering early education, health screenings, nutritious meals, and deep family support.

Join us in celebrating this milestone and learn how Head Start continues to change lives: https://go.nhsa.org/61
