Head Start Works

Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive early learning and development programs that help children from low income families prepare for school. Children who participate in Head Start show gains in pre-reading, pre-writing, vocabulary, and literacy skills and have fewer behavior problems.  

Children who attend Head Start are less likely to be held back in school and more likely to graduate from high school than other children from low-income families who did not receive Head Start services.
