Head Start Fact ❤️ Head Start is more than preschool. It supports children's learning while also providing health, nutrition, and family services to help the whole family
thrive.

Head Start Fact 💙
Head Start teachers are so much more than preschool teachers. They are early childhood educators who hold degrees, mentors, advocates, and trusted adults who help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally while partnering with families every step of the way. The foundation they build today helps shape a child's future.

Head Start Fact ❤️
Research shows that children who attend 2 years of Head Start are more likely to enter kindergarten ready to learn, and many studies have found long-term benefits such as higher graduation rates, increased college attendance, and improved lifetime opportunities. Head Start isn't just about preschool—it's about building a stronger foundation for children AND families. 📚🍎
