Head Start is a national program administered through the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Since its inception the purpose of Head Start has been to promote school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of education, health, nutritional, social, and other comprehensive services to enrolled children and families.
In 1965, the Office of Economic Opportunity launched Project Head Start as an eight-week summer program. Head Start was part of the war on poverty, which embodied a basic belief in education as the solution to poverty. Head Start was designed to help break the "cycle of poverty" by providing preschool children of low income families with a comprehensive program to meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs.
