The Head Start program was announced in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson as a complete framework for providing the required health, educational, and nutritional needs of children from low-income families to pave better opportunities for them. Child Inc.’s Head Start programs has delivered services to children and families in Travis County in core areas of early learning, health, and family well-being while engaging parents as partners every step of the way for 50 years.
Our Head Start program supports family well-being by helping parents achieve family goals, such as housing stability, continued education, and financial security. #DYK Head Start programs provide comprehensive services to more than 1 million children each year?
