For 60 years, Head Start has been a critical lifeline for families across the United States, giving over 750,000 children a chance to thrive as learners AND in life.
The program is grounded in decades of research and shows that children who participate in Head Start are more likely to graduate high school, go to college and obtain higher lifetime earnings, and less likely to live in poverty and rely on public assistance.
Send a message to your members of Congress asking they invest in Head Start — not only for the children who rely on it today, but for the ones who need its vital support tomorrow.
I am writing asking that you increase investments in Head Start – not only for the children who rely on it today, but for the children who will need its vital support tomorrow.
For 60 years, Head Start has been a critical lifeline for hardworking families across the United States, providing quality early education and care to children who otherwise would not get that chance.
And for many low-income families, Head Start is often the only source of child care, early education, health services and nutritious meals, especially in rural areas. Head Start programs serve over 750,000 children from low-income backgrounds.
Head Start has a profound, positive impact on millions of children and families' lives, and the communities it uplifts. Every $1 invested in Head Start returns $7 to $9 in reduced crime, increased earnings and lower social service costs by boosting children's chances of graduating high school, attending college, securing steady jobs and breaking the cycle of poverty.
I urge you to invest in Head Start so it not only endures but continues to grow, so it can help families thrive for decades to come, and give the children who need it the most a chance to thrive.
Thank you.
