Head Start & Prekindergarten

Head Start provides high-quality early education to children from low-income families, and changes lives—but it’s under attack.

The Trump administration is seeking to weaken and defund Head Start. We can’t let that happen. Head Start has helped millions of children build skills to succeed and helped millions of parents play a key role in their children’s futures.
