Head Start Awareness Month

Every October, we celebrate Head Start's historical roots, current impact, and lasting legacy.

 

Head Start Awareness Month is an opportunity to draw attention to the work Head Start does. We focus on the challenges, the opportunities, and the high-quality services that make Head Start and Early Head Start a leader in early childhood education. Our collective efforts remind the world what Head Start does and, more importantly, what Head Start needs.
