Head Start Program
The Head Start Program is a program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families. The program's services and resources are designed to foster stable family relationships, enhance children's physical and emotional well-being, and establish an environment to develop strong cognitive skills. The transition from preschool to elementary school imposes diverse developmental challenges that include requiring the children to engage successfully with their peers outside of the family network, adjust to the space of a classroom, and meet the expectations the school setting provides.
Launched in 1965 by its creator and first director Jule Sugarman, Head Start was originally conceived as a catch-up summer school program that would teach low-income children in a few weeks what they needed to know to start elementary school. The Head Start Act of 1981〔FDA. (Memorandum of Understanding ).〕 expanded the program. The program was revised when it was reauthorized in December 2007. Head Start is one of the longest-running programs attempting to address the effects of systemic poverty in the United States by intervening to aid children. , more than 22 million children had participated. The program's effectiveness has been debated in a range of studies: advocates claim that its successes are obvious, opponents respond that it produces substantial failures, and others that its failures are sufficient to warrant its abolition.
==Mission statement==
"Head Start promotes school preparation by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, social and other services."〔ACF Office of Public Affairs (OPA) Fact Sheet – Head Start Bureau (HSB).〕 It has recently been changed to, “Helping people. Changing lives. Building communities.”
