Head Start and Early Head Start helps to build a foundation for children's success. Head Start/Early Head Start are comprehensive programs designed to foster the healthy development of young children from low-income families. The programs have grown from a brief, eight-week summer program for preschoolers in 1965 to a year-round program today, serving children from birth to four and pregnant women.
