Nearly 800,000 kids across the U.S. turn to Head Start for early learning, nutritious meals and family services.
This support system has been helping children thrive for over 60 years.
But rising childcare costs and funding uncertainty are putting these life-changing programs at risk.
Every kid deserves an opportunity to succeed. Tell Congress to protect Head Start!
Too many hardworking families across the U.S. are struggling to give their children the best possible future – especially as the cost of child care continues to rise.
That's why Congress must protect and invest in Head Start.
For over 60 years, Head Start has provided early learning, nutritious meals, health services and community support. Research shows that kids who participate in Head Start are more likely to graduate high school, attend college and secure steady jobs.
But rising operational costs, staffing shortages and funding uncertainty are threatening the support nearly 800,000 children rely on.
As childcare costs continue to rise, Congress must invest more in early childhood education by:
* Fully funding Head Start programs nationwide.
* Expanding access for eligible children and families.
* Supporting competitive wages for educators and staff.
* Ensuring programs have the resources they need to deliver high-quality care.
We can't afford to leave kids behind during the years that matter most.
Please, protect and invest in Head Start today.
