Too many families across rural America can't access or afford early learning.
This Head Start Awareness Month, we're urging Congress to act.
For 60 years, hardworking parents have counted on Head Start – for high-quality child care, nutritious meals, medical care and community support.
Today, this essential program helps nearly 800,000 kids succeed in school, thrive in life and break the cycle of poverty.
Tell your lawmakers: Early learning is a right, not a luxury. Invest in Head Start!
Dear [Elected Official],
Early learning can transform a child's future – but in rural America, too many families can't access or afford it. That's why I'm urging you to invest in Head Start.
For 60 years, Head Start has been a lifeline for hardworking families – offering high-quality child care, nutritious food, health services, career guidance and community support.
Today, this vital program helps nearly 800,000 kids from low-income backgrounds succeed in school, thrive in life and break the cycle of poverty.
Our nation benefits, too. Every $1 invested in Head Start generates up to a $9 return with communities benefiting from reduced crime, increased earnings and lower social service costs.
Every child deserves a chance to learn and grow. Please, invest in Head Start!
