Head Start & Early Head Start programs in Delaware reflect the national commitment of focusing on the whole child, by providing a strong education for little ones from birth to age 5 along with resources and support for families. Last year their activities included practicing reading and listening skills (Mother Goose and other guest authors visited classes!), hands-on art and science projects, collaboration and social-emotional learning, along with trips to the local firehouses and police stations to learn about safety. Thanks to all the teachers and staff who make these robust programs possible.

Spotlight on: AVANCE-Houston, Inc. Hurricane Beryl has left only 6 of AVANCE's 18 centers with power. Many of their 2000 families, including those in Head Start/Early Head Start, and 400 employees are without basic utilities during this period of extreme heat. Despite outages, disrupted communications, and water, ice and food distribution challenges, the AVANCE team, led by Executive Director Luz Flores, is demonstrating their typical resilience, skills, and dedication. They continue to work from home while crisis teams assess the situation. NHSA is also stepping in with support, providing resources and funds from NHSA’s Disaster Relief Fund which is designated to help Head Start programs, employees, and families recover from natural disasters.

Head Start programs in Hawaii share the national commitment of ensuring all keiki (children) have the ‘Head Start’ in life they deserve! For example, last year children in HCAP’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs learned about environmental preservation through Dr. Seuss’s "The Lorax," explored the arts, practiced teamwork, and enhanced their hand-eye coordination and motor skills with activities like building with blocks, playing with Legos, solving puzzles, and using writing utensils. Mahalo to the dedicated educators, parents, staff, and volunteers who make Head Start in the Aloha State so impactful!
