Today I have taken interest in the Head Start field. Head Start hels many children with the foundation of learning. I attend Head Start and my mom worked for Head Start when they first come to our county in 1969. I have children but they were not able to attend the school.
The newsletter that I subscribe is the National Head Start Association and the link is http://www.nhsa.org/news_and_advocacy/advocacy/legislative_eupdate. The focus of Head Start is to service children from the age of 3 to 5. Some Head Starts have a Early Head Start. This program service children 6 weeks to a year. All those served are students that are from low income families. Today Head Start serves over 700,000 children throughout the United States. Head Start programs are design to help children develop socially, cognitively, emotionally, and phyically. Also, Head Start is about Family Services. The help parents to get work or GEDs.Many children that have gone through the program has become very productive citizens.
In the letter, Head Start focus on funding for the 2012 year. They are asking all advocates to write a window to their congressman and tell how Head Start has halp them in some kind of way. Also, January is Family service month. Family service month is design to help parent prepare tax forms.
