Head Start and Early Head Start are federally funded programs designed to promote school readiness for children from low-income families. Head Start serves children ages 3 to 5, offering early childhood education, health services, and family support. Early Head Start focuses on pregnant women, infants, and toddlers up to age 3, providing comprehensive services to support early development and family well-being. Both programs aim to empower children and families by providing resources that foster learning, health, and emotional growth, setting the foundation for long-term success in school and beyond.
