Details
Early Head Start evolved out of Head Start's long history of providing services to infants and toddlers. To help design the new initiative, the Secretary of Health and Human Services formed the Advisory Committee on Services for Families with Infants and Toddlers in 1994. The committee set forth the vision and goals for Early Head Start that have been shaped by lessons learned from comprehensive child development programs, parent and child centers, migrant head start programs, locally designed Head Start programs and other early child development and family support efforts serving families with very young children.
