[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a way for parents to call Head Start and tell them how much they love and benefit from having Head Start at DCPS? That might help DCPS get the grant again.[/quote] What? Head Start is FOR low income families. They don't GAF how much high-earning parents love the benefits![/quote] THIS. Head Start Mission Statement: [i]Head Start [b]promotes the school readiness of young children from low-income families[/b] by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development. [/i] Head Start History: [i]Head Start was [b]founded as part of War on Poverty [/b]under the Economic Opportunity Act on 1964. Sargent Shriver led a panel of experts to develop a comprehensive child development program that would help communities meet the needs of disadvantaged preschool children. The result was Project Head Start. Since then, Head Start has grown from an eight-week demonstration project in 1965 to include full day and full year services and numerous program options. Head Start has served over 32 million children and their families in urban and rural areas in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories.[/i] [/quote]
