Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

Head Start is one of the most powerful programs in our nation’s history. Tell Congress: Preserve Head Start so every child has a chance to shine.  

John, 

Since its founding in 1965, Head Start has given 38 million children a chance to thrive.  

Head Start helps parents become their child’s first and best teacher, equipping them with essential parenting skills to encourage curiosity and actively nurture development.   

Just ask Hafeezah, SCAN’s South Carolina State Manager. Curious and bold, her 4-year-old son was a firecracker who struggled in group settings – until their family found Head Start. 

“The teachers welcomed us with open arms, patience, encouragement and understanding,” Hafeezah says. “Through hands-on activities, playful learning and songs… I watched my son blossom.” 

Today is a National Call-In Day, a chance to show Congress how important this program is to the children, families, and communities it serves. 

Tell your members of Congress that Head Start is essential and ask them to do everything to protect Head Start’s future.

John, six decades later, Head Start is STILL a lifeline for working families, breaking the cycle of poverty and expanding access to child care. 

Early learning is the very first issue we ever advocated for, and our sister organization, Save the Children, runs Head Start programs across rural America.  

SCAN is proud to fight for this essential program alongside advocates like you. Today let’s make our voices heard through the halls of Capitol Hill and send thousands of messages to lawmakers!

Families are counting on their support, John. Let’s make sure every child has a chance to learn, grow and thrive. 

Thanks for being a Head Start champion,  

Christy Gleason
