Dear John,


We're big fans of Head Start, and I hope you'll let me share some of what makes this program so incredible.


Head Start has been a beacon of hope for nearly 60 years—offering comprehensive early childhood education, health and nutrition services to families living in under-resourced communities.


But what exactly is Head Start, and why does it matter?


What is Head Start?
Head Start is a federally funded program that promotes school readiness for children ages birth to five. It provides a safe, supportive environment where children receive education, health services and social and emotional support—all at no cost to families.


Who does Head Start serve?
Head Start serves pregnant women, infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children. The program focuses on children from under-resourced communities, ensuring they receive the early learning experiences that will prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.


Why is Head Start so important?
Head Start helps close the opportunity gap. Studies show that children who participate in these programs are better prepared for school and life. The benefits extend beyond academics—Head Start kids are healthier, more socially and emotionally prepared, and more likely to succeed later in life.


Start Early has been a proud partner with Head Start since 1985. We have developed a deep, decades-long relationship with Head Start. This partnership includes a Start Early, Early/Head Start Network and two directly operated programs that deliver equitable access to high-quality early learning and care for children and families.


We partner closely with several local community-based agencies, including our two directly operated programs –

Sincerely,
