SETA's Head Start State Preschool Program

Head Start serves over 6,200 children daily. Perhaps the most successful program ever created for children, Head Start was initiated in 1965 to provide educational programs for pre-school children in poverty. The program provides educational and special educational services, health, dental, mental health, social and nutritional services. Parent involvement in program planning, parent education and site operations, is an essential part of the program. Parents learn leadership and advocacy skills as they become involved in their communities, school districts and local government. Teamed with the One Stop Career Centers, Head Start promotes employment and training programs to help parents become self-sufficient. For more information, please visit www.headstart.seta.net.
